BCM94311MCG in Monitor Mode
Hey guys, Im new to the Linux scene and I'm just trying to figure out if my WLAN card is able to go into Monitor Mode, because I've read that this doesnt work with many cards.
Heres my sudo lspci -vv output 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) Subsystem: AMBIT Microsystem Corp.

Any help would be greatly appreciated |

I think most cards support Monitor mode but they do not support packet injection. Moreover, while compiling drivers like the ipwXXXX ones you need to make sure that you enable the monitor and injection mode. |
