+ | **WORK IN PROGRESS 18th March 2012** | ||
+ | It's possible to use certain drivers under linux on a Macbook in order to inject in monitor mode, allowing for much wider greater usage of aircrack-ng. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This was tested on a Unibody Macbook, Mid-2010. That's Model Identifier (go to apple menu -> about this mac -> more info -> system report) of **Macbook 7,1**. The linux distro used was Ubuntu 11.04. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After getting having set up the ubuntu install, the card was automatically using the Broadcom STA open source drivers, which work great but don't support injection. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Check the chipset: this worked fine on a card with PCI ID of **14e4: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Look up your chipset on [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | I then downloaded and installed compat-wireless. There are already great instructions on their website, so head to [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once that's installed, you'll need to manually install the b43 drivers as we have to compile it with a particular flag telling the system to use this instead of the STA drivers. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You'll need to do: < | ||
+ | You'll then have to extract the right firmware for b43 and install that: check [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then you'll have to blacklist the old drivers (you can just blacklist **find me**), and either reboot for simplicity, or unload and reload the modules. Now check **lsmod**: if it's all worked properly, you should see **b43** listed in there, and your wifi card should be working! | ||
+ | |||
+ | Go have fun with aircrack! |
