Ask me to select number of device to put into monitor mode, add it in the list, and ask another time... infinite...

Reproduced. I believe issue #43 is about the same issue.

This is still an issue, WiFite v2 (r87) presents the loop ..

I'm also having this issue at the moment. It just started recently.

Previously, I was able to select a specific interface.

I now have to manually switch the interface I want to use to monitor mode to get wifite to function, which disables the ability to anonymize the MAC address.

Meant to ask, are there any logs we should be checking?

Same issue on a ubuntu. I fixed this by stopping the network-manager service.

@cmayer0087

any way on how you did it?

Put your wireless card into monitor mode using: airmon-ng start [interface]

Kill network manager with: airman-ng check kill

wifite now starts and immediately begins scanning networks

[Drosakis]

Enable monitor mode to your adapter and then set the Interface in wifite directly: airmon-ng start MONITOR_INTERFACE wifite --mon-iface MONITOR_INTERFACE

For example: airmon-ng start wlan1 wifite --mon-iface wlan1mon
