I downloaded the zip and went to the respective proper files as instructed and did the following codes:

NOTE: I am communicating to you from my PC via a teethering with my android and horrible data rate.
I ran:
Code:
bash-4.3# iwconfig wlan0 mode Monitor
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device.
bash-4.3# iwconfig wlan0 mode Monitor
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device.
bash-4.3# ifconfig usb0 mode Monitor
Monitor: Host name lookup failure
ifconfig: `--help' gives usage information.
bash-4.3# ifconfig lo mode Monitor
mode: Host name lookup failure
ifconfig: `--help' gives usage information.
bash-4.3# iwconfig wlan0 mode Monitor
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device.
I then disconnected my lamp (it connects to the computer via usb) and the tethering/phone and ran:
Code:
bash-4.3# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

bash-4.3# iwconfig wlan1 mode Monitor

Note: I have been running all this and most of my computing with my SlackBox as root, I know it's not suggested but I have yet to connect to the internet and henceforth and still in the "post installation phase".
Rebooting now. (retethering)
