Mode Monitor with iwconfig gives Mode Auto and airodump-ng not working #17

Open he2lec opened 7 years ago

he2lec commented 7 years ago

Hi,

i try all methods to get into monitor mode: ifconfig wlan0 down iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor ifconfig wlan0 up

or even:

iw dev wlan0 interface add mon0 type monitor

With the first method i got "Mode: Auto" enabled in iwconfig, and with the second method airodump-ng seems to get nothing from the usb.

I also notice that "wash -i wlan0" cannot work, and sometimes airodump-ng works with the first method, but exit after a few second with "read failed network is down" error.

Thank you for you help.

So this was on 2017.1, but i found a solution for 2017.2 (better), thanks to qmech from Kali linux forums: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?37911-Getting-RTL8188-to-work-with-Kali-in-monitor-mode

Just need to modify the Makefile and one of the c files, to be compatible with lastest version of kali, and everything is working fine!
