I am beginner in Ubuntu 12.04, and have a problem with aircrack-ng. airodump-ng
gived me a fixed channel -1
error. The access point is on channel 5, but I can't switch to that channel because of that error.
My hardware is: Broadcom BCM431, driver b43. I've tried patching, but had a problem with driver installation.

Download and install the latest Aircrack-ng development (beta). There's an
--ignore-negative-one
switch that you can use to fix thatfixed channel -1
annoying error.Here's how you can install the latest Aircrack-ng.
Type the following commands in a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T).
sudo apt-get install subversion libnl-dev
cd /opt/
sudo svn co http://svn.aircrack-ng.org/trunk/ aircrack-ng
cd aircrack-ng
sudo make
sudo make install
Once it's done, run
aircrack-ng
without any options, and look at the first line, it should read something like this:Now, when you use
airodump-ng
andaireplay-ng
, always use the option--ignore-negative-one
.
