Just look at these :

lo        no wireless extensions.

Code:
mohsen@mohsen-Latitude-D520:~$ sudo iwconfig eth1 mode monitor[sudo] password for mohsen:

I have also checked the
http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/user...ported_devices and did all the step and as above site shows my hardware supports monitor .

I have also installed the
aircrack-ng
and
airmon-ng
as this site said: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/inde...t-1373098.html

but I have the same problem.

I am kindly asking you to help me solve my problem, If you think this problem is because of my hardware can you suggest a good model for laptop D520 (DELL Latitude).


any help is appreciated

Try b43 instead of wl. The link below takes you to some instructions you might have already read, but perhaps never acted on.
