airmon-ng problem

[MoshCraciun]

Hello, i've used backtrack before but now on my new laptop after i've installed the new BT5-R1 x64 KDE i wasn't able to start airmon-ng nor for my integrated wlan card witch is "Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 100 BGN" chipset, nor my USB Alpha AWUS036H, drivers are ok, tried different combinations like wlan0 on & wlan1 off and then to start airmon-ng, but with no use, the Problem is that after "airmon-ng start wlan1" (in this case it's my alpha) it detects the card but doesn't return to shell, it just hangs forever, sometimes activates it sometimes no but never returns to shell prompt. i would really need some assistance

root@bt:~# airmon-ng start wlan1


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
1436    dhclient
1453    dhclient3
Process with PID 1436 (dhclient) is running on interface wlan0
Process with PID 1453 (dhclient3) is running on interface wlan0

                                (monitor mode enabled on mon0)

I had the same problem on my laptop.

Airmon-ng would enable monitor mode but hangs shortly after. Try this to fix it: rmmod iwlagn

Then run airmon-ng and it should work properly. Type modprobe iwlagn to re-enable once mon0 is active.

Hope this helps, it worked for me :-)

Try running

airmon-ng check kill
airmon-ng start wlan1

If that doesn't work try forcing the card into an enabled state(copied from the wiki):

root@bt:~# rmmod rtl8187
root@bt:~# rfkill block all
root@bt:~# rfkill unblock all
root@bt:~# modprobe rtl8187
root@bt:~# rfkill unblock all
root@bt:~# ifconfig wlan0 up
