Airmon-ng now working with Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6xxx

Airmon-ng used to get stuck in a "while..." loop, and appear to hang. This problem has now been fixed by the aircrack team. As BT uses the SVN version, nothing needs to be removed; simply:

Code:

---

root@bt:~# cd /pentest/wireless/aircrack-ng
root@bt:/pentest/wireless/aircrack-ng# svn up

---

However, BT seems to have aircrack installed in 2 places (no idea why - anyone explain?). A "which'" command shows:

Code:

---

root@bt:~# which airmon-ng
/usr/local/sbin/airmon-ng

---

Therefore, in order to use the newly updated version:

Code:

---

mv /usr/local/sbin/airmon-ng /usr/local/sbin/airmon-ng.original
cp /pentest/wireless/aircrack-ng/scripts/airmon-ng /usr/local/sbin/airmon-ng

#or even better, to update the whole aircrack suite (as ShortBuss points out):

make
make install
airodump-ng-oui-update

---

After you do the svn up you also need to do a make and then make install. Otherwise you've only updated the source and don't have updated binaries. The make install should install the binaries into the sbin location for you. Also make install prints out another command for you to run to update something.

Thanks for the explanation ShortBuss.

VulpiArgenti, I have tried many different solutions to get my wireless card (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230) to work/show or even stop the dhclient3 from poping up, but everything ive tried doesnt seem to work... :(

I have BackTrack 5 Gnome 32bit installed on Oracle VM VirtualBox. It works fine other than testing my wireless card (on Windows Virtual PC it does the same thing)
"wlan0" doesnt work (says no device found).. only "eth0" and "lo" show information...
I have a Dell XPS L502X laptop (fairly new)

Maybe its something to do with how my wireless card is set up or some of the configurations need changing...

Please help! I'd really like to solve this...
