[Bug 1383184] Re: Atheros Qualcomm Killer N1525 Wireless-AC [168c:003e] is not supported

 

PACKET INJECTION:

I have read something online about raw tx and it looks like that hardware crypto-engine on the card does encrypt the packets that you are trying to inject so it doesn't work. I have tried to create unsecured wireless network and connect to it - this disabled the crypto engine and allowed me to successfully attack my other WPS enabled network with reaver. After disconnecting from the unsecured network it stopped working, so it is not possible to change channel without changing the unsecured network's channel.
I am using Kvalo's kernel 4.2 and Killer 1525 in my alienware 13 - Does anyone know a better workaround to disable crypto engine? I have tried custom firmware from candela, didn't work.

Bug description:
  Card detail: Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:003e] (rev 20)
  Subsystem: Bigfoot Networks, Inc. Device [1a56:1525]

  This is on a fully updated Ubuntu Server 14.04 installation, with the ubuntu-desktop environment installed. This happened in order to get the md raid drivers for raid0 on my system, as the desktop version doesn't support them.
