I have aircrack-ng 1.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 and whenever I use the command "airmon-ng start wlan0", it always says "monitor mode enabled" instead of "monitor mode enabled on mon0". I checked ifconfig and iwconfig to see if it made another interface name. I have a Realtek RTL8187SE driver. How can I fix this problem?

    You need to give us more information if you really want this bounty to work. Can you please give us the output of the command airmon-ng start wlan0; lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A2 and your version of airmon?

You need to specify what channel you want your wireless card to operate on while in monitor mode.

Your command should read airmon-ng start wlan0 wireless-channel 1 to 11

For example airmon-ng start wlan0 11 will put your wireless card in monitor mode on channel 11.

For more information check out the man page for airmon-ng

  • I figured out that wlan0 was in monitor mode but I do have another problem.
