Wi-Fi Coconut Win64
** Requirements **
You MUST INSTALL THE ZADIG USB DRIVERS BEFORE CONNECTING YOUR WI-FI COCONUT
or THERE IS A RISK OF HARDWARE DAMAGE.
** Installing **
1. Download Zadig from https://zadig.akeo.ie
2. Run the Zadig tool
3. From the menus, select Device->Create New Device
4. Enter "RT2800" in the name field (the large field next to the
checkbox named "Edit")
5. Under USB ID enter:
148F 5370
Leave the third field next to USB ID blank.
6. Click "Install Driver". Zadig may appear to hang - just wait!
Zadig will then install the USB drivers required for raw
access to the radio.
NOTE: Installing the Zadig drivers for the rt2800 family of Wi-Fi cards
will disable any other Wi-Fi cards using this chipset. These Wi-Fi cards
are USB ONLY and this will typically not affect the built-in Wi-Fi card
on your system, however if your device ONLY HAS USB for Wi-Fi you should
MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT USE THE rt2800 CHIPSET.
IF YOU ARE UNSURE, we recommend TAKING A SYSTEM SNAPSHOT before installing
the Zadig drivers!
** Running **
1. Plug in coconut
2. Open a terminal, navigate to coconut download
3. Run .\wifi_coconut.exe --help for info
Useful commands:
.\wifi_coconut.exe --diagnostics-only
.\wifi_coconut.exe foo.pcap
.\wifi_coconut.exe --diagnostics foo.pcap
** Controlling LEDs **
By default the Wi-Fi Coconut enables all LEDs. LEDs blink when there is traffic on
the corresponding channel.
The Wi-Fi Coconut can be used in "stealth mode" by disabling LEDs entirely:
.\wifi_coconut.exe --disable-leds foo.pcap
The LEDs can be inverted, so that they are normally off and blink only when there is
traffic:
.\wifi_coconut.exe --invert-leds foo.pcap
If blinking LEDs causes a health issue or is annoying, LED blinking can be disabled
with:
.\wifi_coconut.exe --disable-blinking
The LEDs will still light up as the radio is enabled, but will not strobe.
