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 wlan1 <#>'
Sysfs injection support was not found either.
now my internal wireless Atheros card picks up many netowrk, but this external Alfa picks up maybe 2 networks at the most, when i try in Backtrack 5 R3. One of them is next to me and the other is next door.
I have searched, and i am unable to find a fix, can anyone please give me a guide on how to get this working correctly and patched so i can use it for injection.
Many thanks and thanks in advance for anyone who can help me out with this issue
