Hello guys, someone can help me, with this problem, i am using Galaxy Win, runing Kali Linux and Linux Deploy.

Found 1 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!
-e
PID Name
1299 wpa_supplicant
Process with PID 1298 (logwrapper) is running on interface wlan0
Process with PID 1299 (wpa_supplicant) is running on interface wlan0
Process with PID 1390 (logwrapper) is running on interface p2p0
Process with PID 1391 (p2p_supplicant) is running on interface p2p0


Interface Chipset Driver

wlan0 Unknown ath6kl_sdio - [phy0]mon0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

(monitor mode enabled on mon0)
p2p0 Unknown ath6kl_sdio - [phy0]

I cant set the wlan0 or p2p0 on monitor mode.

Thank you!

Years later I'll answer it.

Your WiFi adaptor must support monitor mode. Most adaptors built into laptops and devices Do not support Monitor Mode

Just came across this post.. better late than never ;-)

NetworkManager will usually interfere with monitor mode. Your description of related services suddenly quitting is a good indication as NetworkManager will revert your adapter settings. This can be avoided by using --> airmon-ng check kill. After killing those interfering process, you can run --> airmon-ng start wlan0 to place the adapter in monitor mode.. if your wireless adapter supports this feature. Try using iwlist in order to explore the capabilities of the adapter.

You'll need to stop the processes that are using your wireless interfaces, such as wpa_supplicant, as they are preventing you from switching to monitor mode.

Run this command to kill them:

Code: Select all

sudo airmon-ng check kill

Step 2: Re-enable monitor mode

After killing those processes, try enabling monitor mode again on wlan0:

Code: Select all

sudo airmon-ng start wlan0

Check if the interface has been properly set to monitor mode using:

Code: Select all

sudo iwconfig

Once you’re done using monitor mode, you need to restart your network services. Use this commands:

Code: Select all

sudo service network-manager restart sudo service wpa_supplicant restart
Hope it helps u.
