I've had no success yet in using DWEPDUMP in trying to collect packets in order to "crack" my home network's WEP keys. I always end up wiht a 0 or 24 byte dump file even after days or running it with confirmed traffic between my 802.11b AP and Client. I also get the "illegal option --a" problem. I've spent a couple weeks figthing with it and I've read through all the postings here in BAT and any related solutions I've found have not yet solved my problem (hence my posting of this new request for help) I've made sure that my wi0 is up and properly set to monitor mode (prism2ctl wi0 -m, ifconfig wi0 up, wicontrol -p 3 -f [my channel]). I've tested with Dstumbler and it works (I can see many AP's including mine). However, Dstumblre does NOT work with the "-o" option even though my Prism2 card is in monitor mode (I find this strange and suspectful). I've also tried using Prism2dump and I get no dump showing up on the screen. My guess is that it seems something is not right with Monitor mode and I don't know what it is. My FreeBSD machine can otherwise connect to my WEP enable AP without any problem so I know the hardware and basic wi driver fuctions are working properly. Here's my setup: 802.11b AP - FreeBSD 4.7 server with NETGEAR MA401 in AP mode (wicontrol -p 6), 64 bit WEP enable (I've also tested by listening in on my Neighbors Linksys AP with WEP aslo with the same results) 802.11b Client - Various NIC's on various Win OS'es (Lucent Wavelan Silver, Nortel/Spect24, Dlink DWL-650) 802.11b 64bit WEP test traffic - File transfers using FTP, SFTP, windows file sharing, HTTP, ICMP using various sizes of packet (10-1500 Bytes) Dwepdump v0.2 machine- FreeBSD 4.7 non-patched wi drivers AND I've also tried FreeBSD 4.4 with source mod patched wi driver and succesfully rebilt kernel. I've used two differnt Prism2 Cards: Netgear MA401 and Dlink DWL-650 (firmware v1.03.05) I've read many success storied her in BAT with similar setups so I know I must be able to get mine working. I'm hopefull that I've just missed a simple setting somewhere but just need some help from BAT in finding it. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this (and hopfully respond).
