MTeams continues to see kali/aircrack-ng forum comments about airmon-ng/network-manager conflicts.
The following script will make a monitor in kali2.0 without disrupting network-manager. It sets the power to 30 and spoofs the mac address for both device and monitor. Command line sequence here is important for this routine to function.
Keep in mind that using airmon-ng check kill nukes network-manager. Full functionality cannot be restored except by rebooting the computer.
Notice when completed your monitor is mon0mon.
More advanced scripts allowing random mac address will follow.
