    airmon did work until I updated :-(

    installed kali-linux-2016.2-i386.iso to harddrive
    tried a few apps like reaver
    all good

    updated kali (from settings->details->check updates)
    tried a few apps like reaver & wifiite
    all fail :-( wash and wifite can see aps, but can't associate with them (suspect problem transmitting packets - but can receive promiscuously?)

    boot 2016.2 from usb
    everything works again.

    clearly updating kali broken things.

    the wifi nic is an atheros ar242x/ar542x pcie using ath5k driver.

    is there any suggestions on what and how to rollback? eg did ath5k get updated since 2016.2?

    Sorry, but without proper debugging info, this post is not actionable. Updating Kali hasn't broken anything for me.

    This problem happened to me too sometimes... my theory is after a kernel update, sometimes, the firmware packages are not updated at the same time. If you wait a couple of days usually the updates finally arrive and everything start working again. That's what happened to me
