In virtual machine environments, drivers has a tendency to switch itself off, often resulting in errors such as: "rtl8187: wireless radio switch turned off", "ioctl(SIOCSIFFLAGS) failed: Unknown error 132" and "rtl8187 - [phy0]SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132" To solve I created a simple script which you can download and use: Code: Select All sudo dmesg |tail -20 sleep 5 Note that if you download the attachment script that you might need to set permissions as 755 by chmod before you can run it as a script. E.g: Code: Select All sudo chmod 755 '/root/Desktop/Aircrack-ng-SCRIPTS/Error-132-FIX.sh'
