Error when trying to run airodump

[velkropie]

i have a ubiquiti card and i'm getting this error when trying to run wireless commands...

i was able to set the card and get network access thought, which is the way i'm connected right now....

airodump-ng -w Out ath0
ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) failed: Invalid argument
Error setting monitor mode on ath0


any ideas?

thanks

Try to set the card in monitor mode this way:

   wlanconfig ath0 destroy
   wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode mon

It seems to be the fail proof way to set up monitor mode in atheros chipsets. You can also not kill ath0, keeping it in station mode, and create instead an ath1 device to monitor.

Good luck
