interface chipset driver

wlan0 atheros ath5k - [phy0]

root@loki:/home/drak# airmon-ng check


found 5 processes cause trouble.
if airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
short period of time, may want kill (some of) them!

pid name
2914 networkmanager
2933 wpa_supplicant
2938 avahi-daemon
2939 avahi-daemon
3229 dhclient

in advance,

michel

hey hey, have 5008...


type airmon-ng start (nic name)
mine wlan0

once type that, can type iwconfig , bam, see new interface.


got monitor working , want inject now?
first off need "killall" networkmanager , wpa_supplicant.
crash if attempt inject when using them... monitor mode , don't think matters...

note.. killall networkmanager kills internet connection, deal

on side note, might want strip real mac/ips off post, don't want ppl spoofing right?
