The Sorrow Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I recently moved from Windows to Ubuntu 8.10 on my Dell Inspiron 1525 and have run into a problem using the Aircrack-ng suite. I use airmon-ng start eth1 to put the card into monitor mode and then type in airodump-ng to start capturing packets but it returns with this root@******:/home/******# airodump-ng eth1 ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) failed: Invalid argument ARP link type is set to 1 (Ethernet) - expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211, ARPHRD_IEEE80211_FULL or ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM instead. Make Sure RFMON is enabled: run 'airmon-ng start eth1 <#>' Sysfs injection support was not found either. i spent a couple hours researching and tinkering and found nothing. My card has been said to support promiscuous mode so im stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmo Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 what method did you use to change to monitor mode. i was playing with the latest release of aircrack-ng on linux mint and found airmon-ng said it went into monitor mode but it still wouldnt capture was coming up with a similar error. try this: ifconfig eth1 down iwconfig eth1 mode monitor ifconfig eth1 up and then do your capturing. and to stop monitor use: ifconfig eth1 down iwconfig eth1 mode managed ifconfig eth1 up it sounds like your drivers are not patched so you may not be able to inject and you will have to run 3 commands to change between monitor and managed. i think ubuntu is using the interface by default so you need to bring it down to change modes and other settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sorrow Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 I normally use: ifconfig eth1 down airmon-ng stop eth1 macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 eth1 airmon-ng start eth1 airodump-ng eth1 It works when i use a USB wireless card, problem is that its a G not an N so it doesnt have the same range as my integraded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i.have.rewt Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 So, not that it would matter but more out of curiosity, have you tried not changing your MAC? What card do you have BTW? Best bet would be to head over to aircrack-ng.org and post there if all else fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sorrow Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 yea i tried not changing the mac and it still gives me the same error on airodump. My wireless card is a Dell Wireless 1390 802.11g Mini Card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkside92 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 bump i have the exact same problem with the exact same laptop lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingToChatWith Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 the sorrow, I got the same laptop/wireless card as you. How'd you get the 1390 working in Ubuntu for normal browsing first off? I got mine working using ndiswrapper awhile back that of course doesnt allow you to put the card into monitor mode. I'm thinking just like you I'm going to be needing a usb card to do this kind of stuff. Isn't it a broadcom chipset? Also I notice you're using eth1 in your commands, shouldn't it be wlan0/1?

SomethingToChatWith Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 The restricted driver didnt work for me. Had to blacklist it and use ndiswrapper. This was back with 7.10, maybe things have changed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was back with 7.10, maybe things have changed... yea i was using 8.04 so they have redone the dell restricted drivers because dell now sells ubuntu as one of their OS options.
