Unique MAC addresses), but I can't get any useful data out of the Raspberry Pi. My code appears to workĬorrectly on my laptop (varying signal strengths for different devices and clearly I use the Edimax EW-7811u USB stick since this Raspberry Pi is one of the original model Bs without Wi-Fi. To approximate the distance the device is from the Raspberry Pi. The MAC addresses will be used to identify devices and the signal strengths will be used These packets will be analyzed to extract signal strengths and MAC addresses. I am trying to use a Raspberry Pi to sniff the network and grab WiFi packets from nearbyĭevices. In dBm and will give me access to radiotap headers through libpcap. My problemĬomes down to this: I need to find rtl8192cu drivers that will provide signal strength

My only conclusion is that this driver does not work correctly. Network were suspicious (5 - 6 nearly identical addresses with the last hex digitĬhanged). Would never deviate from -35 dBm and the MAC addresses I read from packets on the Unfortunately, this driver had some sort of flaw since the signal strength Provided signal strength in dBm (from iwlist) and I was able to get radiotap headersįrom libpcap. Module, rtl8192cu, which was compiled from source from the Realtek site. To provide appropriate radio header information through libpcap. Signal level/strength as a percentage which is completely useless to me, and they fail

Furthermore, I have noticed that the kernel driver yields The drivers included in the kernel (8192cu) haveīeen known to have issues with going into monitor mode (a feature that I need), but work

I have an Edimax nano USB WiFiĭongle which uses rtl8192cu drivers. I am using PiBang which is built on top of the Wheezy distribution. Login as whatever user you normally do - if you are just starting this will be the user "root" whose password is also "root.I am currently having trouble with WiFi drivers on the Raspberry Pi. Start out by turning on your Raspberry Pi and letting AlarmPI boot, once booted you can either choose to work directly on the device or ssh in using PuTTY or another SSH client (Recommended, since you can reference the guide alongside the terminal) My WIFI dongle can scan the networks but its not connecting to any network. I have followed a lot of tutorials from internet but no success so far. Comfortable using nano to edit text files Hy there, I am having problem in connecting my raspberry pi to a wifi dongle. Okay, so a lot of people have successfully gotten these modules working under Debian with few issues, but a lot of people are left in the dark that run Arch, since the majority of the user base is considered to be "more knowledgeable." I decided to put together a guide for people just starting out on AlarmPI with a fresh image and the need for a working wifi driver for this particular chip (which should be popular since the Raspberry Pi's USB ports can power it, and its cheap)
