I was first using Kali 2020.3, and had to manually install my wireless driver (RTL8822BE). After that, monitor mode would work on it with the command
Code:
sudo airmon-ng start wlan0
. I decide to upgrade to Kali 2020.4 and it automatically had my wireless driver so connecting to WiFi wasn't a problem. The part that is the problem though is putting the WiFi card into monitor mode. I've tried
Code:
sudo airmon-ng check kill
to turn off the WiFi network and tried
Code:
sudo airmon-ng start wlan0
to put the wireless card into monitor mode, but it automatically switches back to wlan0, and not wlan0mon. Even when I run the command
Code:
sudo iwconfig
, I get wlan0 and not wlan0mon. I don't ever see wlan0mon even when it's doing the command. I've tried reinstalling my WiFi driver and it doesn't change anything. I also have the problem of getting my internet back because when I use the command
Code:
sudo airmon-ng check kill
, it kills the WiFi process. I tried to use
Code:
sudo service NetworkManager restart
and it doesn't work (but the command itself works). The only way I am able to get WiFi back is to reboot.
