AIRMON-NG(8)		     System Manager's Manual		    AIRMON-NG(8)

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 inter-
     faces. 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  wire-
     less 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  inter-
	    faces and 'stop' on ath interfaces.

     stop <interface>
	    Disable  monitor  mode  and go back to managed mode (except for mad-
	    wifi-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
	    other parameters or used alone.  This flag will  increase  the  ver-
	    bosity  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
	    other  parameters  or  used alone.	This flag will increase the ver-
	    bosity 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 air-
	    crack-ng  team,  due  to  the fact that this behavior is known to be
	    broken. WARNING!
