Airmon-ng issue #36

Closed D3adP3nguin closed 3 years ago

This is an informative post: When using airmong-ng with mt76x2u NiCs it causes the live OS to crash. I have found an alternative setup so I wanted to share with those who might be running into the same problem

sudo ip link set wlan0 down
sudo iw wlan0 set monitor control
sudo ip link set wlan0 name wlan0mon
sudo ip link set wlan0mon up

Then if you are using 5Ghz do the following

iwconfig wlan0mon freq 5.220G
iwconfig wlan0mon channel 44
You will also want to set your AP's 5Ghz SSID to use channel 44 (5.220G freq)

Thanks, I've added a reference to this in the README!
