    I cant seem to ever see clients in Airdump-ng or Kissmet

    Hi.

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ60l aptop that Ive installed Kali on (no running from live). The built in wifi card appears to be: Qualcomm Atheros AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express).

    I have tried to run airdump and kissmet and although it seems to tell me the card is in monitor mode, it never seems to find a client.

    Im testing on my home network which is PSK WPA2.

    Ive used other devices such as my mobile to log in and out of the wifi network numerous times, but I never seem to detect anything.

    I'm doing the following.

    airmon-ng
    airmon-ng check kill
    airmon-ng start wlan0
    airodump-ng wlan0mon

    Once it displays a list including my network I press CTR + C

    I copy my bssid and channel and do the following

    airodump-ng -c 4 --bssid [mybssid] -w /root/Desktop/ wlan0mon

    It then just sits there monitoring, but never detects a client bssid.

    Im probably doing something really stupid, but dont know what.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Looks like you are locking airodump-ng to channel 4...silly question, but is your access point operating on channel 4? I'd also be certain that your wireless device really is wlan0. My external wi-fi cards often jump between wlan1 & wlan2. Another thing to try is an injection test using aireplay-ng. The aircrack-ng suite works best when your wi-fi card is fully compatible: that is, it will go into monitor mode & do packet injection.

    Hey Rochdalemark,

    Please run "airmon-ng start wlan0" and post the results here.
