The bcm43xx has been verified to produce all attacks. However, there a few known problems.

Monitor mode with bcm4361 on S8 Plus Information: Tests ongoing, old reaver not working, airmon-ng not working Require beta testers and some help to compile new reaver and airmon, if interested please email me. As of 2.6.17, a driver for the Broadcom bcm43xx wireless chipset has been included in the kernel. Older kernels can sometimes be made to work, check out resources available here While this driver natively supports monitor mode, it requires patching before packet injection can be done. After testing aireplay-ng with the patches, please contribute to the forum thread by reporting any successes. Use `nexutil -m1` to activate monitor mode without radiotap headers, `nexutil -m2` to activate it with radiotap headers. The numbers were chosen as non-Nexmon firmwares also support native monitor mode without radiotap headers by activating monitor mode with `nexutil -m1`. Hidden page that shows all messages in a thread. As for turning monitor mode back off, that's going to require driver, packet.dll, and libpcap work. In the drivers: in the NDIS 6 driver, for each interface, have a count of 'monitor mode instances' and a saved operating mode and, for each opened NPF instance for an interface, have a 'monitor mode' flag.

• aireplay exits with “out of memory error” / syslog shows “out of DMA slots”

_{There is a problem in the bcm43xx driver when injecting packets using DMA access. I'll try to compile the mod without DMA and see what happens asap. I'll also make another patch soon that waits till the send buffer is empty before resuming after an error occurred. Now it just waits a second before resuming at a lower rate.}

_{Same problem as above, there is a problem with injection and DMA access.}

• syslog shows a lot of failed assertions (!ring→suspended).

_{ASSERTION FAILED (!ring→suspended) at: drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_dma.c:71:request_slot(). Again, a problem with DMA. Aireplay tries to write a packet, the driver wants a free DMA slot for that and can't because the DMA slots were all taken (the driver blocks all dma requests then).}

All these problems should be mitigated or fixed with the new patch!
