Topic: Airodump error when running eth1

I have searched google like crazy, and from what I see my error is a very common error.. yet I have not managed to find a solution for this.

Every time that I try to run

airodump eth1

I get the following error.

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 eth1 <#>'
Sysfs injection support was not found either.

now I don’t know what this means yet, but I am trying my best to find out. anyways.. here is my cards info.

airmon-ng start eth1

eth1            UNKNOWN         airo_cs (monitor mode enabled)

I am using a AIR-PCM350 card (Cisco)

hopefully someone can finally share some light here. just incase.. the card works when sing kismet after I had configured *.conf.

Re: Airodump error when running eth1

Don’t forget monitor mode enabled airmon-ng start eth1 with driver include injection patch.

Did you try airodump wlan0 ?
