Issues with installation

[ironstove]

Hi, I just recently installed linux mint 6 so I'm relatively new to the entire operating system since I've been a windows user since 3.1 until now.

I am attempting to install aircrack-ng on a Asus Z92K laptop with Linux Mint 6 installed (Gloria)

According to online user manuals the laptop has the BCM43xx wireless card pre-installed in it, but I am unable to figure out whether the system has recognized the card.

I typed all of the commands as specified in the "Installing drivers" manual but I was unable to spot the wireless card.

To get straight to the point, I would like to know how or why the wireless card is not being read by the system (it is on and can see the wireless networks available).

If a method is not solved, is there a way to bypass this step and go forward with the driver installation?

Thanks a lot for the help. I will continue reading the help files and check back up on this thread throughout for advice to the problem.

ironstove,

If this is more or less, your first experience with linux, you should get acquainted with the OS first, before jumping to aircrack-ng.  Otherwise you'll find it rather frustrating dealing with all of it's aspects.

All of the questions you ask have their answers in wiki documentation of the site, which goes to show you haven't read them. To get help around here, you need to at least demonstrate due diligence and read the documentation, because no one's babysitting.

Yea, I was reading the wiki shortly after posting the thread after I read other users being told to refer to the wiki. I'm currently going through the stage of installing OpenSSL on the laptop and I'm going to proceed forward with the installation and I'll bump this topic up or perhaps start a new one when I run into a problem that neither the wiki or FAQ can answer. Sorry for the spam lol!

Alright, so I finished installing openssl a while ago, but I have been unsuccessful at installing aircrack. I every time I type in the 'make' and 'make install' command to the console, I get the same error message:

Despite the fact that I've installed OpenSSL, I continue to get the error stating that the directory/files do not exist. I read the wiki several times but it doesn't go into further detail on how to overcome this issue other than installing OpenSSL which I already did by downloading from the main site. Thanks for the help!

You'll need OpenSSL's development package:

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

General Linux tip: don't install stuff from their websites, use Synaptic!

Also, concerning your wireless card's detection, check out the output of the "lspci" and "iwconfig" commands (without the quotes of course).

I beg to differ. Especially when it comes to aircrack-ng.

OK I agree in this case, but he was talking about openssl. (And Ubuntu 9.04 has aircrack 1.0-rc3 in it's repos, so it's not all that bad).

ironstove,

You need to install the development portion of openssl.  I am not sure of the package name on your distro.  You should be able to find which exact package supplies the missing files.  Your distro support fourms should be able to tell you which exact package you need to get the files.

No, not that package and all information and troubleshooting are on the wiki (search for installation in the wiki).

[sleek]

Right,

Linux mint in essence is ubuntu, which means he needs package called libssl-dev

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

Thanks. I think that command pretty much solved my problem. This is the output that I get when I type 'make' and 'make install' now so I think I'll try to proceed with the driver installations.
