Hi, I have been trying to get my wireless card working with wireshark. I'm using ubuntu, I've used my card in monitor mode lots. Its a USB Ralink rt2870. Any ideas on why it won't let me into the wireless options? I've tired putting it in monitor mode before starting wireshark and that doesnt help. thanks, Chris asked 13 Oct '10, 02:00  chris99 |
One Answer:
Check to make sure your wireless card is in the up state: There is a lot of variation in how to place an interface in monitor mode on Linux systems, depending your Linux kernel version and selected drivers. The Aircrack-ng tool airmon-ng does a great job at figuring out the "right thing to do" automatically: Also double-check your ability to capture on the interface at the command-line with tshark: -Josh answered 19 Oct '10, 06:29  joswr1ght |
