Yea I'm have the same problem I will give that a try the #airmon.sh start wlan0, but my card also shows up as wifi0 also. Kismet seems to work fine. Airodump on the other hand when I start it, it's like it's froze just that shell, or lookin for AP's it does nothing but display the information across the top, BSSID, DATA, CH. etc. I would really apreciate it if somebody could help me with that, hopefully this command will help I'ma give that a try now.

AMD 64 3000+
512
DWL-650 rev. P also
Senao NL 2511 CD Plus ext2 (same issue)

[G-Stress]

Yea I tried that "#airmon.sh start wlan0" it didn't work. I tried it in Auditor with no success, I guess that script isn't even in Auditor. Then I tried in BackTrack, but forgot BT doesn't even recognize either card the DWL-650, or the Senao 2511.

Umm I've read articles about getting card's working in these live distro's. Is there a way though to do so without a HD install?

[yeehawjared]

I have a Senao NL 2511 CD Plus ext2

I fire up B|T (live or HD-install)
airmon.sh > shows available cards
airmon.sh start wlan0 <channel>
card gets set to monitor mode

Why don't you try 2 different things..

switch-to-wlanng, eject, insert
airmon.sh start wlan0 <ch>

or

switch-to-hostap, eject, insert
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
iwconfig channel XX
ifconfig wlan0 up

something like that, may have to look around for how to manually set card to monitor mode

[G-Stress]

airmon.sh start wlan0 <ch#> results are

a directory location then below Interface, Chipset, etc. but the information is blank like it didn't detect the card.

Tried both with my Senao NL-2511 and my DWL-650 rev. P I also tried

switch-to-hostap, ejcect, insert
switch-to-wlanng, eject, insert

both gave the same result runnning iwconfig

lo no wireless extensions

eth0 no wireless extensions

eth1 no wireless extensions

sit0 no wirless extensions

I would really like to get at least 1 card working running off live CD and definitely supporting packet injection and Mass deauthentication.

Looks like it is the card bus that is giving you a problem. You could try what is mentioned in this link.
