[-] Channel hopping failed: command failed: Device or resource busy (-16) #72

While I am able to get this to work using no arguments sudo python wifijammer.py , I cannot seem to target a certain access point using -a (using MAC address or access point name) nor to exclude a list of MAC addresses using -s. I get the error:

[-] Channel hopping failed: command failed: Device or resource busy (-16)

Also, when I try to target a certain channel using the -c option, I get a different behaviour. It's not an error message but it just sits there and doesn't so anything despite there being clients on the target channel:

[+] wlan1 channel: 11

I am using a raspberry pi 3 running latest image and with a TP-Link TL-WN722N with all dependencies installed (scapy, tcpdump etc) $ uname -a Linux raspberrypi 4.4.50-v7+ #970 SMP Mon Feb 20 19:18:29 GMT 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux

Do you have any ideas or suggestions what might be going on?

Check if your WiFi adapter is in monitor mode and is not being used.... i.e not connected to an ap

Device or resource busy is from the iw channel hopping section of the code.

I have rewritten this tool https://github.com/MisterBianco/wifijammer-ng if you want to check it out and see if I fixed it... I am going to be doing some development and my version supports the 5ghz spectrum.

The only reason I didnt do a pull request is that the tool is very different from the original.
