ok, so im sorry to post this fix so late but i finally found a way to fix this.
wget http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2010-10-16.tar.bz2 tar -jxf compat-wireless-2010-10-16.tar.bz2 cd compat-wireless-2010-10-16 wget http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/mac80211.compat08082009.wl_frag+ack_v1.patch patch -p1 < mac80211.compat08082009.wl_frag+ack_v1.patch wget http://patches.aircrack-ng.org/channel-negative-one-maxim.patch patch ./net/wireless/chan.c channel-negative-one-maxim.patch gedit scripts/update-initramfs #*** FIND LINE 13: KLIB=/lib/modules/2.6.31-wl/build #*** REPLACE WITH: KLIB=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build make sudo make install sudo make unload sudo reboot This will fix the issue with the negative channel and aircrack-ng. I confirmed this today, it was compat-wireless not just the kernel. Also not sure but I think WPA handshakes are messed up too. But I know this will work to break WEP. And this does work to fix. Thanks to squirrelscript and ubuntuforums and iwir3d. ** Changed in: aircrack-ng (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Changed in: aircrack-ng (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => needlez6 (needlez6) ** Patch removed: "fixes the negative one channel issue" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aircrack-ng/+bug/643788/+attachment/1696779/+files/patches.aircrack-ng.org%20channel-negative-one-maxim.patch -- monitor mode wireless interfaces incorrect channel -1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/643788 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
