For those not following aircrack-ng forums there is a bug in the aircrack-ng 1.2rc3 version of airbase-ng.
When a ESSID is selected, airbase-ng transmits two(2) ESSID names, the name selected by the user AND another ESSID named default.
MTeams confirms this bug exists. The following simple solution has been tested with Pwnstar9.0.
Replace the newer version of airbase-ng with the older version.
1. You can download airbase-ng version rc2.2 at:
http://www.datafilehost.com/d/43e85f87
In kali2 you will find airbase-ng located in the /usr/sbin folder
type:
locate airbase-ng
Rename the /usr/sbin/airbase-ng rc2.3 version to airbase-ng.orig ie airbase-ng original
NOW Copy the rc2.2 airbase-ng version to the /usr/sbin/ folder
Type
chmod 755 /usr/sbin/airbase-ng
If anything does not work just erase the rc2.2 version and rename airbaase-ng.orig back to airbase-ng
This is a aircrack-ng problem not a kali-linux bug. Currently the only known solution is to downgrade aircrack-ng to aircrack-ng 1.2rc2
