1 you didnt install wireless-tools
at least correctly
2 because of 1) you cant use airmon-ng
3 in order to get mon0 you will need airmon-ng
airmon-ng start wlan0

what is the best version of aircrack to use? I have tried both, i seem to have issues with wash -i mon0 -C and airodump-ng mon0 seemed to show networks when i went from 3g and tried to connect to my lan, I am having some luck any advice would be great, thanks

wash seems in generel to have issues, not only on N9. But, again, I repeat, this is not a stable monitor mode. Still seems to 'loose' wifi connection when enabled (airmon-ng). As you figured out, opening the network applet and letting the N9 search for accesspoint seems to again activate the wlan0. Also, I am afraid, it seems that TX power is rather weak. Meaning that we will need to be in proximity of accesspoints to be cracked.

Hi!
I flash kernelplus "linux_2.6.32.61-plus-20131128" whithout Ubiboot, but injection driver doesn't work.
i tryed many APs - one result:

Trying broadcast probe request...
No answer...
Found 0 APs

aircrack, iw, macchanger installed from nieldk's repo.

sorry for my bad english.

Please see post above yours.
The work is continuing, and any further progress will be reflected in Powerkernel.

I have installed wireless-tools and when running airmon-ng i get wireless-tools not found. they are indeed installed. Not sure what exactly i have done wrong, any help would be great. Thanks

add

/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin/sbin/bin to your path
I cant remeber, but wireless tools is not installed in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin

Ive been away for a while, updating the phone updated the wireless-tools and its working, have you had any more sucess on the injection Neil? I had tried some things before and had little sucess. I was going to say for the tx power we could change the devices country to bolivia BO and see if we could change the txpower. The issues I find fascinating is that you only get networks in airodump when you search for networks after its running. I am stumped

I have the same problem :/ any ideas how to solve this problem?
monitor mode and injection are good not for only cracking wep keys

Thanks for reply

Hi to NielDK,

Cheers to all your hard work here, your a champ.

I used to play with aircrack-ng on the n900. but im pretty much a noob at this these days.

so I followed the steps I could find.

got my stock n9 16gb flashed to
- open mode
- then to ubiboot
- then the kernel plus - linux_2.6.32.61-plus-20131128

- developer mode
then installed
wireless-tools_2.9_armel.deb
macchanger_1.6.0-1_armel.deb
aircrackng_1.2-b1_armel.deb
iw_3.11_armel.deb - didnt realise it was a seperate package.
n9tweak

then sorted out the $PATH variable, devel-su doesnt load the .profile which made everything not work pretty much. and wireless-tools is installed to /usr/bin/sbin which wasnt in my default root $PATH variable. "cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/wireless-tools.list" shows the location of the files installed

below is what happens on my N9 not sure what the "ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device" means you get a different error message.


$:~# airmon-ng start wlan0

Interface Chipset Driver
