Summary0002547: Wireless card monitor mode not possible with Kali 2.0 (worked with previous releases)
Description

Wireless cards, which worked correctly in monitor mode with pre-Kali 2.0 releases, do not switch into the monitor mode with Kali 2.0. Neither if tried with airmon-ng, nor with iw.

Normal ("managed" mode) wireless connectivity works without problems.

Hardware:

  • Asus eeePC R101 netbook (1.6GHz Intel Atom N450 (dual core, 64bit), 2GB RAM), internal adapter reported as "Qualcomm Atheros AR2427 802.11bg Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)"
  • External TP-Link TL-WN7200ND USB wireless adapter ("reported as Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070")

Software (both used as LiveUSB, showing the same issue; used as downloaded - not updated, not persistent; placed on USB using YUMI under Windows):

  • kali-linux-2.0-i386.iso (sha1: 6e5e6390b9d2f6a54bc980f50d6312d9c77bf30b)
  • kali-linux-2.0-amd64.iso (sha1: aaeb89a78f155377282f81a785aa1b38ee5f8ba0)
Steps To Reproduce

A) With the internal adapter:
I) Using airmon-ng:
1) Check status:
root@gJuKLeE4RNpY1Pf2oDeDl:~# ifconfig
[...]
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 1c:4b:d6:[...]
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

2) Try placing into monitor mode:
root@gJuKLeE4RNpY1Pf2oDeDl:~# airmon-ng start wlan0
Found 4 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!

(mac80211 station mode vif disabled for [phy0]wlan0)

3) Check status:

4) Try searching for networks:
root@gJuKLeE4RNpY1Pf2oDeDl:~# airodump-ng -i wlan0mon
ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) failed: Device or resource busy

ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) - expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211,
ARPHRD_IEEE80211_FULL or ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM instead. Make
sure RFMON is enabled: run 'airmon-ng start wlan0mon <#>'
Sysfs injection support was not found either.

==> Failure

======================================================

II) Using iw:
1) Check status:
root@PJ7MQYchF:~# iw dev wlan0 info

2) Try placing into monitor mode:
root@PJ7MQYchF:~# iw phy phy0 interface add mon0 type monitor

3) Check status:

======================================================

B) With the external USB adapter, using airmon-ng:
1) Check status:
root@kali:~# ifconfig

2) Try placing into monitor mode:

Addition to the test step B3 ("Check status"), to make it clear that the external adapter really stays in "managed" mode, instead of changing into "monitor":

lo no wireless extensions.
