entropy1024 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) I bought an ASRock USB WiFi dongle from HAK5 recently. I'm using on my XPS13 running Ubuntu 17.04. When I plug it in and do an ifconfig it returns as wlx002522508b5d If I then try and pit it in monitor mode using sudo airmon-ng start wlx002522508b5d The device then vanishes from the ifconfig list and I get phy0 wlan0 wl Broadcom Limited BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03) phy6 wlx002522508b5d rt2800usb Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070 Interface 15mon is too long for linux so it will be renamed to the old style (wlan#) name. (mac80211 monitor mode vif enabled on [phy6]wlan1mon (mac80211 station mode vif disabled for [phy6]wlx002522508b5d) I then try sudo wash -i wlan1mon it returns wash v1.4 WiFi Protected Setup Scan Tool Copyright (c) 2011, Tactical Network Solutions, Craig Heffner <cheffner@tacnetsol.com> [X] ERROR: Failed to open 'wlan1mon' for capturing I have tried substituting wlam1mon for [phy6]wlan1mon, [phy6], [phy6]wlx002522508b5d, wlx002522508b5d and they all return the Failed to open error. Where an I going wrong please? Thanks for any help Edited December 27, 2017 by entropy1024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00shE Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 That wireless card definitely doesn't support monitor mode. https://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatibility_drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
