Re: Alfa AWUS036NHR v2 - WLAN doesn't show up after successful piratebox start/enable

Alright! Thank you very much for the assistance.. I just re-flashed the SD Card using dd instead of the win32disk imager..

after start/enable I issued the systemctl status piratebox:

systemctl status piratebox

Then I issued a reboot and immediately unplugged the lan cable.
This time the raspberry pi showed immediate activity (the act led, flash drive led and the wireless adapter blinked)

The rest of the configuration was successful, tested the chat, file upload and forum - everything working for now.
But I realized that the usb flash drive seems to unused..

df -h

The date is odd and I couldn't find the uploaded file anywhere..

find / "filename.mkv"

Also do I have the strange feeling that it won't start up, the next few times.. but I will test and report..
