Channel -1 in Kali 1.0.6

[soxrok2212]

Hey guys, I just did a fresh install of Kali 1.0.6 64-bit into VirtualBox. Previously, I had 1.0.5 but ran apt-get update and diet-upgrade but in both conditions, airodump reports the negative 1 channel and I cannot use airplay to deauth clients from my rtl8187l device (Alfa AWUO36H v5).

airmon-ng:

root@Kali:~# airmon-ng


Interface          Chipset                    Driver

mon0               Realtek RTL8187L     rtl8187  -  [phy0]
wlan0              Realtek RTL8187L     rtl8187  -  [phy0]

It was working perfectly before 1.0.6 and I did notice that back before I did a fresh install (when I was on 1.0.5), when I ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade it installed new wireless drivers, and I believe I saw realtek firmware in there so I think the new stuff is corrupted. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks in advance!

I had the same issue after updating kali the other day, I got around the issue by adding "--ignore-negative-one" to the line.
Hope that helps you. :-)

Yeah I've done that but aireplay-ng doesn't deauth clients. It tells me to add --ignore-negative-one but I still get the problem. Thanks for the response though!

I'm about to post a script I made, give it a try and see if deauth is working.
If it works then you can check the commands I used, or you could give me a shout and I'll try and assist the best I can.

Hah, I didn't know you could add --ignore bla bla in aireplay and it worked... my b. Just wish they would fix this because its a pain to have to type it out every time. Anyways, thanks! And I'll check out your script slim76.

You're welcome mate, happy to help.
Oh and I did notice there was some sort of patch to fix the issue, but thats all I know about it. LOL

--ignore-negative-one isnt a solution for this problem ! Can you deauth with these "ignore" command ?

Same problem here. airbase-ng is pretty much useless right now.

Have a look at this link

It may help solve the problems you are experiencing in a virtual environment.

I'm using a Netgear WG111 USB dongle and everything seems to work fine for me, its never switched its self off or given me any trouble until I updated kali.
I solved the issue I had by adding --ignore-negative-one to the airodump-ng and aireplay-ng commands.
My setup is different though, I have kali installed to my harddrive and not a virtual setup.

Interface Chipset Driver

wlan0 Realtek RTL8187BvE rtl8187 - [phy0]
(monitor mode enabled on mon0)

I couldn't deauth after a kali update until I added --ignore-negative-one, everything worked great after.

disable the wireless lan interface before starting the monitor mod.
example.

airmon-ng start wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 down

or

ifconfig wlan0 down
airmon-ng start wlan0

The negative-one issue is caued by network-manager(NM). There are several solutions.
1. Disable Network manager - we do not do this but it does work. For example when WPA Phishing you need NM functioning
2. There is a script work around which you can run. We have posted here before.
