Airodump-ng Wrong Channel In Mon0 (channel -1)

[killerro]

Hi

I have installed card on chipset ath9k_htc on Backtrack 4R1, but I have problem with channel in mon0 there is all the time is -1. I try type in console : airmon-ng mon0 11, iwconfig mon0 channel 11, iwconfig channel11 mon0 - 11 it's channel, but it gives nothing.

I thank for your time.

After installl drivers wifi arp attack ok, but now ... "aireplay-ng -- test" - no AP ;/

Try:

ifconfig mon0 up promisc
iwconfig mon0 mode monitor
airodump-ng -c 11 -w dump mon0

ifconfig mon0 up promisc

Reboot and try again. Stop using airmon-ng to bring it up. Do it the way I showed you in my first post, just those commands alone. Yoru card might not be 100% supported or driver issues, but you have it up in your second pic on Channel 11 like you wanted. Not sure why its getting "fixed channel -1" though. Mine never shows that, but I suspect its because you tried to set the card to that channel under iwconfig. You dont need to set the card to a channel when brininging it up, but you set airodump to the channel you want to capture only, and it will stop the roaming for you when given airodump-ng -c 11 -w dump mon0

-c = channel and -w = write to file named dump.cap so you can then crack the wep/wpa keys

mon0 is not your wireless cards id. Its wlan0 or wlan1 from the looks of your screenshots. "no such device" was your first clue. in ifconfig -a, that lists the id's and there is no mon0. I was only using that as an example based on what you had initially posted.
