I can't get that to work. I get: # airmon-ng start wlan0 Interface Chipset Driver wlan3 ath5k_pci - [phy0] wlan0 Ralink 2573 USB rt73usb - [phy1]/usr/sbin/airmon-ng: line 338: /sys/class/ieee80211/phy1/add_iface: No such file or directory mon0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device (monitor mode enabled on mon0) It looks like I'm supposed to have /sys/class/ieee80211/phy1/add_iface which isn't there. I've tried with net.wlan0 started and stopped. - Grant
