jiballx@jiballx-laptop:~$ sudo airmon-ng stop wlan0

(monitor mode disabled)

jiballx@jiballx-laptop:~$ sudo airmon-ng start wlan0

Found 5 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!

PID Name
1001 NetworkManager

wlan0 Unknown ndiswrapper (MONITOR MODE NOT SUPPORTED)

jiballx@jiballx-laptop:~$

so can anyone tell me how to configure the "ndiswrapper" into monitor mode...a billion thanks in advance

AGAIN NDISWRAPPER DO NOT SUPPORT MONITOR MODE ,OD THIS:
u cant make ndiswrapper work proper., because it is just a wrapper
download from this page drivers for linux .,or etc.
wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download/stable/#compat-wireless_2.6.38_stable_releases
page and do this:
copy drivers to root;
go to terminal;write this:<cd (driver folder name)>;than write;sudo make install; - and then will install drivers;and than load
your drivers(im my case like this;sudo athload ath5k:
and DONE:everything should work, it works for me,MONITOR MODE ENABLED,use backtrack with wcard or Wusb,it depends which wcard u have or usb, u must find the wright drivers
enjoy

Uhm, if your driver needs ndiswrapper, why did you remove it?
Btw isnt this thread agains the LQ rules..?

sirry, dont understand the question, ??u only need a driver ,not a windows drivers which the wrapper reads, it is not fully operatble, my driver does not need ndiswrapper,
if this any helpfull what i wrote ??

The thread is old also

This thread is also a mess. Has the original question been answered, and is the OP satisfied? If so, it should be marked [SOLVED] and abandoned. That's my whole $1.00...
