wg511t wtf am i doing wrong here??

[default]

Ok, I'm tired and trying to figure out this foreign linux language.

This is what i get when i type:

"airmon-ng stop ath0"


Interface Chipset Driver

wifi0 Atheros madwifi-ng
wifi1 Atheros madwifi-ng



and this is what i think want to have (going by the tutorial video):

Interface Chipset Driver

wifi0 Atheros madwifi-ng
ath0 Atheros madwifi-ng VAP (parent: wifi0) (VAP destroyed)


What do i do?

If i type iwconfig i get

lo no wireless extension
eth0 ''
wifi0 ''
wifi1 ''

?

when i fire up kismet and it only works from wifi1? and makes an ath0, then every other time i fire up kismet it makes another ath# ? whaaaaaaaa? please explain



I suspect, i may have screwed something up trying to get my orinoco and prism cards working, but now i have an atheros card. Another card another set of problems, sigh I'm so ****en tired and stressed right now

Ignore the first command because thats me loading my drivers which you should not have to do

purehate ~ # modprobe ath_pci
purehate ~ # airmon-ng stop ath0

Now you are in monitor mode as you can see with the iwconfig command

[default]

That made it start monitor mode on ath2 ? and there is an ath1 in managed mode ? and for some reason there's also an eth0? what's that doing there?

airodump doesn't receive any data from ath2

I tried booting from live and running but it must have read from the hdd config or something? maybe i should disable my hdd and see if that helps, or burn everything and give up

[default]

cool, got it sussed now. Ill Just use the wifi1 and it's parent ath1, have no idea why the ath0, wifi0, lo and eth0 are there but as long as they don't start any trouble they can stay where they want




edit: further more, after 3 weeks of trying and 3 different cards i have finally managed to associate my mac with the damn router, yay, that's a good start

[purehate]

you can destroy all un needed interfaces with the airmon-ng stop command
