Interface Chipset Driver
wlan0 Broadcom wl - [phy0]mon0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
(monitor mode enabled on mon0)
What does this error means is there any solution for this?
Try this:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
then just do
iwconfig
and see if it works.
Note that you should name your device instead of wlan0
if it is different. This was just used as an example. You could and should, if you ask me, install aircrack-ng and rather use the following command:
sudo airmon-ng start wlan0
which will give you an image device called mon0
that will be in the monitor mode while your wlan0
will stay in managed mode. Works much better this way.
sudo lshw -c network
and then search online to find out.
