    VMware 9
    Alfa Card RTL 8187L

    Instilled VMware & Running BT5 looks Great !
    Issue Now : The BT5 able to find the RTL8187L Card, I was able to use WASH to check WPS = good
    Able to monitor mode the RTL 8187L
    But When I write Airodump-ng wlan0 = is NOT working ..?

    Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I get this error quite frequently.

    Code:
    Select All
    ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) failed: Device or resource busy ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) – expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211, ARPHRD_IEEE80211_FULL or ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM instead. Make sure RFMON is enabled: run ‘airmon-ng start wlan0 <#>’ Sysfs injection support was not found either.
    You need to be in monitor mode:

    Did you run?
    Code:
    Select All
    sudo ifconfig wlan0 down sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor sudo ifconfig wlan0 up sudo iwconfig wlan0
    Code:
    Select All
    sudo airmon-ng start wlan0 sudo airodump-ng wlan0
    If you are still having issues please follow this tutorial: How to Fix ioctlsiocsiwmode Failed Device or Resource Busy Problem

    In future can you please copy and paste the error message in the forum. Thanks.
