airmon-ng - POSIX sh script designed to turn wireless cards into monitor mode.

       This  manual page was written by Adam Cecile <gandalf@le-vert.net> for the Debian system (but may be used
       by others).  And modified to fit airmon-ng by David Francos Cuartero  <xayon@xayon.net>.   Most  recently
       modified  by  Zero_Chaos  to update for the airmon-zc rewrite.  Permission is granted to copy, distribute

airmon-ng  This  script can be used to enable monitor mode on wireless interfaces. 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 wireless card
       operation.

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 interfaces and 'stop' on ath interfaces.

       start<interface>[frequency]
              Enable  monitor  mode  on  an  interface  (and  specify a frequency in MHz). Note: Madwifi-ng is a
              special case, 'start' has to be used on wifi interfaces and 'stop' on ath interfaces.

       stop<interface>
              Disable monitor mode and go back to managed mode (except for madwifi-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 verbosity 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 verbosity 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
              aircrack-ng team, due to the fact that this behavior is known to be broken. WARNING!
