Little help with airmon-ng start wlan0

[sneja]

Hi, I have just started using backtrack with a D-Link USB wi-fi adapter. I am trying to follow this tutorial to crack a WEP key. Okay, when i run the airmon-ng it stands that i have a interface with the name wlan0. But when i try to enable monitor mode, with: airmon-ng start wlan0. It stand (monitor mode enabale) But in the tutorial he also get a name, so it stands; Monitor mode enable on xxx. So what am I doing wrong? I need the name for the next step..

Sorry for noob question but hope someone could help

That's the thing about youtube tutorials, you'll never be able to fully understand what you are doing. Go to aircrack-ng site and follow the tutorials there. They are easier to understand and you'll be learning from the source of the tools you are trying to use.

When you enable wlan, does itshould tell you something like "mon0 set in monitor mode"

You then use mon0 as your interface.

That is the problem! When i try to do so it just stands under driver: prism2_USB (monitor mode enabeld) Without no name! But when I am trying to use ettercap for an ARP attack it stands that it could not be done with a unconfigurated device! So how do i configure the device?! I think maybe there is the same problem...
