Getting Alfa AWUS036NEH (RA3070) working in monitor mode

[natv]

I'm trying to do something very basic for the moment:
- put card in monitor mode
- run airodump-ng


ifconfig shows the Alfa USB adapter as wlan0

I run:

airmon-ng start wlan0

Then I kill off the problem processes with:
airmon-ng check kill



I get this error below however when trying to run airodump-ng so below is how I resolve that

--
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.
--



To resolve the above error, I do:

ifconfig wlan0mon down
iwconfig wlan0mon mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0mon up


Then I check iwconfig and verify that the wlan0mon is in "monitor" mode, and it is.


However, when I run:

airodump-ng wlan0mon


It doesn't see anything on any channel, which is not possible as there are two wireless routers not far from me.


So something is wrong but I'm not sure what?


Thanks

I have found that first running:

airmon-ng check kill

and then running

airmon-ng start wlan0

makes aircrack-ng and its utils run smoother.

This also creates the mon0 interface as opposed to wlan0mon. In the past I was able to create mon0 using:

iw dev wlan0 interface add mon0 type monitor

but that doesn't work with the new Kali 2 setup. Running airmon-ng in the order mentioned above puts my wlan0 into monitor mode as mon0 and I don't need to resort to using iw at all.

I hope this helps.

@natv
first do this -

service network-manager restart
service avahi-daemon start

ifconfig wlan0 down
macchanger -m 00:02:03:04:05:06 wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 up

iw wlan1 interface add wlan0mon type monitor

ifconfig wlan0mon down
macchanger -m 00:04:05:06:07:08 wlan1mon
ifconfig wlan0mon up

ifconfig -a

airodump-ng wlan0mon --ignore-negative-one
