Failed to create monitoring interface

[An0u]

Hey, I seem to get this issue when running. Failed to create monitoring interface

aircrack-ng wlan0 shows me that it does indeed go into monitor mode. Also if I try to put it in monitor mode manually it tells me than the interface doesn't allow scanning. iwlist wlan0mon scan shows me the interface is not at fault.

Any ideas?

When you run wifibully, just before it fails you should get a log like:

Creating monitoring interface on channel $CHANNEL

Could you use the $CHANNEL that is output to run the following command, and let me know what the output is?

airmon-ng start wlan0 $CHANNEL

Also, it's possible you're running a newer version of aircrack than this was designed for. Could you let me know which version you have?

My version is Aircrack-ng 1.5.2

Running sudo airmon-ng start wls1 6 gives me :

Kill them using 'airmon-ng check kill' before putting
the card in monitor mode, they will interfere by changing channels
and sometimes putting the interface back in managed mode

  PID Name

 1111 wpa_supplicant

PHY	Interface	Driver		Chipset

phy0	wls1mon		iwlwifi		Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300

Then airmon-ng check kill and the script gives me:
