Do you have any idea what may have caused this bug?  Guesses are helpful!

Don't know.

What operating system are you running? Backtrack 5 R2? 32 or 64 bit?
Blackbuntu?

Openwrt r31912

What version of the wifite are you using?

r85

Please provide any additional information below.  A paste of the error is
very helpful!

My hardware has 2 radios.  One is wlan0 the other wlan1.  I specify wlan0 but 
wifite says it can't find it, then shows it as a choice.

Same issue here.. Using latest firmware build in Pineapple Mark V

Latest Wifite, Reaver, etc..

wifite.py -i wlan1

Still causes wifite to ask for wireless device.
