Interesting error

[Ghost40]

Hey guys,
I noticed following a tutorial the other day on WEP cracking that when I run:

airmon-ng stop wlan0

everything is fine, but when I start it back up with:

airmon-ng start wlan0

I get this:

ERROR: Neither the sysfs interface links nor the iw command is available.

And I can't seem to get cracking. But if I use Ezpwn, WEP cracks fine, and quite quickly in most cases. Any insight to what is going on here?

Try this command instead to put your card into monitor mode:

iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor

[ShadowKill]

Or just bring wlan0 down via

ifconfig wlan0 down

and then run

airmon-ng start wlan0

which should create a VAP (wlan1) in monitor mode that you can then use. When you are done, simply stop wlan1 and bring wlan0 back up. Fin!

Tron, your option seems to work, I only tried quickly, but iwconfig shows it in monitored mode. I will try in depth when I get home.

Shadowkill, your commands still return the sysfs error. I am going to research this a bit more.
If I get a fix, I will post the resolve. Thanks guys!

**Updated**
Seems as though Tron's suggestion works fine. Not sure what is going on, but I will look into it further as this card (ipw3945) is supported.

Thanks again!
