[Gumstix-users] Airmon-ng Problem ??

[William P. S. I. <bil...@xp...>]

First of all. I know this is not the Aircrack mailing list.

I am hoping someone on the list, such as J.L. is familiar with both Gumstix
and the Aircrack Suite .

 

Here is my problem: Airmon-ng does not appear to be setting the channel
properly. The device

does however pass the injection test L

 

Please see below:

As you can see, it passes the injection test:

 

root@omap3-multi:~#  aireplay-ng -9 wlan0

10:38:58  Trying broadcast probe requests...

10:38:58  Injection is working!

10:39:00  Found 2 APs

 

10:39:00  Trying directed probe requests...

10:39:00  00:12:17:B4:93:93 - channel: 6 - 'linksys'

Before stopping wlan0:

 

root@omap3-multi:~# iwconfig

lo        no wireless extensions.

 

eth0      no wireless extensions.

 

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:off/any  

          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=0 dBm   

          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off

          Encryption key:off

          Power Management:on

          

 

After stopping wlan0:

 

root@omap3-multi:~# airmon-ng stop wlan0

 

 

Interface   Chipset           Driver

 

wlan0       RTL8187     rtl8187 - [phy0]

                        (monitor mode disabled)

 

Starting wlan0 on channel 6t:

 

root@omap3-multi:~# airmon-ng start wlan0 6

 

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

437   avahi-daemon

438   avahi-daemon

 

 

Interface   Chipset           Driver

 

wlan0       RTL8187     rtl8187 - [phy0]rtl8187 1-1.3:1.0: mon0: Features

                        (monitor mode enabled on mon0)

 

Kill the processes:

 

root@omap3-multi:~# kill 437

root@omap3-multi:~# kill 438

sh: can't kill pid 438: No such process

 

root@omap3-multi:~# aireplay-ng -9 -e Hack_Me -a 00:1C:10:C8:68:75 wlan0

device wlan0 entered promiscuous mode

22:56:07  Waiting for beacon frame (BSSID: 00:1C:10:C8:68:75) on channel -1
<<<<< Set to channel  -1

 

22:56:07  wlan0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel 6

device wlan0 left promiscuous mode

Anybody got any ideas ???
