NAME

   airmon-ng  -  POSIX  sh  script  designed  to  turn wireless cards into
   monitor mode.

SYNOPSIS

   airmon-ng <start|stop> <interface> [channel] airmon-ng <check> [kill]

DESCRIPTION

   airmon-ng This script can be used to enable monitor  mode  on  wireless
   interfaces. It may also be used to go back from monitor mode to managed
   mode. Entering the airmon-ng command without parameters will  show  the
   interfaces  status.   It can also list/kill programs that can interfere
   with the wireless card operation.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

   start <interface> [channel]
          Enable monitor mode on an interface  (and  specify  a  channel).
          Note:  Madwifi-ng  is  a special case, 'start' has to be used on
          wifi interfaces and 'stop' on ath interfaces.

   stop <interface>
          Disable monitor mode and go back to  managed  mode  (except  for
          madwifi-ng where it kills the ath VAP).

   check [kill]
          List  all  possible  programs  that  could  interfere  with  the
          wireless card. If 'kill' is specified, it will try to  kill  all
          of them.

   --verbose
          This flag must precede start/stop/check and can be combined with
          with other parameters or used alone.  This  flag  will  increase
          the verbosity to provide additional useful information which may
          not be needed for normal operation.

   --debug
          This flag must precede start/stop/check and can be combined with
          with  other  parameters  or used alone.  This flag will increase
          the verbosity to debug level to assist in troubleshooting errors
          in  airmon-ng.  Use  this  flag when opening a bug, but only use
          --verbose when requesting support in irc.

   --elite
          WARNING: DO NOT USE: This flag must precede start  or  stop  and
          will  prevent  airmon-ng from removing interfaces.  WARNING: Use
          of this flag will immediately disqualify receiving  any  support
          from the aircrack-ng team, due to the fact that this behavior is
          known to be broken. WARNING!
