Alfa AWUS036H problems.

[SkintMonkey]

I'm having big issues here. My Alfa AWUS036H just won't play well with BT5.

I'm running BT5 in VMware on OS X.

the problem is, when I type to start wlan0 up for airodump-ng it errors a lot.

root@bt:~# airmon-ng stop wlan0


Interface	Chipset		Driver

wlan0		Realtek RTL8187L	rtl8187 - [phy0]
				(monitor mode disabled)

root@bt:~# ifconfig wlan0 down
root@bt:~# macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wlan0
Current MAC: 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (Alfa, Inc.)
Faked MAC:   00:11:22:33:44:55 (Cimsys Inc)
root@bt:~# airmon-ng start wlan0


Found 2 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!

PID	Name
995	dhclient3
1817	dhclient3
Process with PID 1817 (dhclient3) is running on interface wlan0


Interface	Chipset		Driver

wlan0		Realtek RTL8187L	rtl8187 - [phy0]
				(monitor mode enabled on mon0)

first what are those:
PID Name
995 dhclient3
1817 dhclient3
Process with PID 1817 (dhclient3) is running on interface wlan0

Second, why does it say: (monitor mode enabled on mon0) never seen that in BT3.

Hope you can help a friend in need

BT4 and 5 start monitor mode on mon0. When specifying an interface with aireplay-ng, use mon0

Hi,
have you tried to kill them ? With kill [pid]

Second is normal, it just "create" a new Interface that you can use to monitor WLAN and the name is mon0.

Sorry for the bad English :-)

Once you put your interface down, you could have written: iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor, after macchanger, this way the iface is set to monitor mode.
Now, kill the processes 995 dhclient3 and 1817 dhclient3. As informed: "Process with PID 1817 (dhclient3) is running on interface wlan0".
Did You start the dhclient?..If not,just kill them:
killall -9 dhclient3 or use the "kill -9 1817 995

Re run the "airmon-ng start wlan0", now your iface is mapped to mon0 instead (not wlan0) or bring down iface and type: "iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor" and then bring it up (ifconfig wlan0 up)..Now your iface remains the same, wlan0, but now in monitor mode,


Best of lucks.

Now, kill the processes 995 dhclient3 and 1817 dhclient3. As informed: "Process with PID 1817 (dhclient3) is running on interface wlan0".
killall -9 dhclient3 or use the "kill -9 1817 995

this is long way to kill the processes!!! you can use this sure or you can choose this short way!
airmon-ng start monitor made in mon0!! so use mon0 as your interface!

first : you should use mon0 (not wlan0)
second : just type : "airmon-ng check kill" without quotes to kill all interfering procesess ..! just do this and u will be fine
p.s sorry for my bad english...
