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.
