    Network commands cause crash

    Hi, I'm really new Ubuntu. I have a Macbook pro and running dual boot. I installed, all good, up and running, update. Used the most recent version of 13 from the ubuntu website. Got my drivers so everything is working. Got wireless etc. However I am at a stand still. Trying to get aircrack and reaver to work. Using terminal and installed both programs but when I get to the point where I need to type iwconfig, I get a messed up screen that I can do nothing and I have to restart. Everytime I type that command it crashes. I read on the net other people having the same issue but they get a black screen. Any thoughts on what I can do. I don't know what else for information i can give aside from my wireless card is a Broadcom 4331.

    Also in case this does get resolved. Is there a way to avoid reinstalling and doing all the commands for aircrack and reaver, once installed aren't they installed. If so how do I get access tho them instead of going through the whole way starting from scratch in terminal. Again, I am very new to linux. Thanks for any help. I would greatly appreciate it.

    UPDATE

    So i went back in ubuntu and before installing anything I did iwconfig and it worked fine. However I went ahead and installed aircrack and then gave a command and thats when it did it again. Anyone with a mac laptop or experienced anything like this. Could this be something in the kernel or just the fact that its Broadcom

    Hi,

    imho there is no support for aircrack here for obvious reasons.

    There are many forums with excellent resources pertaining to aircrack etc. that I would suggest you try (Backtrack forum etc.)

    As for having problems once you run iwconfig, this might be an unrelated issue and perhaps a new thread to explore this issue should be started.

    Thread closed.
