wireless - Changing mode of wifi driver - Ask Ubuntu


root@shubham:~# iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor error wireless request "set mode" (8b06) :     set failed on device wlan0 ; operation not supported. 

trying change mode of wlan0 managed monitor. need help.

not every wireless card , driver combination support monitor mode, particularly, broadcoms. if command reports, "operation not supported," i'm afraid that's means: can't it.

you can double-check terminal:

iw list 

here sample machine:

supported interface modes:          * ibss          * managed          * ap          * ap/vlan          * monitor          * p2p-client          * p2p-go          * p2p-device 

if result doesn't include monitor, isn't possible.

you could, of course, different wireless card.
