Mutilple mon interfaces in Backtrack 4

[bluelight]

Hi Friends ,

1. I have a problems which I am sure many of you must have experienced and solved.

2. When a give command "airmon-ng start WLAN0" , my card gets in monitor mode "mon1".

3. After giving the command "airmon-ng stop WLAN0" the monitor mode is stopped.

4. Now if I give command "airmon-ng start WLAN0" I get "mon1" and "mon2" interfaces.

5. "mon" interfaces keeps increasing , how do I overcome that ?

It is simply because mon1 is your wlan0 interface in monitor mode... You have to stop mon1 to remove it..

airmon-ng stop mon1

would remove it so when you go to monitor mode again you will only get mon0 interface...
