Dear maintainers,

the tool wifite has an option "--kill", which stops interfering processes. These are NetworkManager, dhclient and wpasupplicant.
Especially stopping NetworkManager creates a problem: When you are connected to a device by the other network interface, you will lose connection.

Thus I would like sugest a solution:

Most systems got the first network interface as eth0 or wifi0. So the second network device will be wlan1 or eth1. These are mostly not used for normal connection, but for
hacking with tools like wifite.

As we do not want to lose connection. and want to get the second device into monitor mode, we can add an exception to NetworkManager.

According to https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/configuring_and_managing_networking/configuring-networkmanager-to-ignore-certain-devices_configuring-and-managing-networking"

this should be named "99-unmanaged-devices.conf" and must be copied below

/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/

Its content should be:

[device-wlan1-unmanaged]
match-device=interface-name:wlan1
managed=0

I suggest, to add this file to the wifite package, and it should be installed by installation of the wifite package.

I tested it on my notebooks (there are different wificards connected) and with my kali on my RasPi. The RasPi got two identical USB-WIFI-stoicks, which are named wlan0 and wlan1.
The stick with wlan0 is always connected to the AP, whilst the stick wlan1 is unmanaged (as described above) and used for analysis. The RasPi is working headless and I connect to it with ssh via wlan0.

All is working well so far.

Maybe you might want to accept my suggestion? If not, no problem, just drop me a note and close this thread.

Thank you very much for reading!

Best regards

Hans
