Your driver has to support monitor-mode. |
| 35 |
I am using an Atheros-based internal WiFi-card and an Alpha-USB-WiFi-device |
| 36 |
with Realtek-Chip. The drivers I used a while ago needed a patch to work with |
| 37 |
monitor-mode, but the recent drivers don't. Take a look at the driver-section |
| 38 |
on the aircrack-ng homepage. Maybe your driver needs to be patched. |
