I've had no success capturing packets with
airodump-ng in monitor mode. Can anyone offer any insight?
I've looked at the
supported cards section and found no exact match, but a websearch makes me think that monitor mode is supported by my driver (
iwlwifi) and card (though I haven't a clue whether it's
NGW or
HMW).
lspci outputs:

I run
airmon-ng and
airodump-ng:
stop network-manager # AIRMON-NG WARNS THAT THIS COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS IF NOT KILLED
service avahi-daemon stop # AIRMON-NG WARNS THAT THIS COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS IF NOT KILLED
killall wpa_supplicant # AIRMON-NG WARNS THAT THIS COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS IF NOT KILLED
airmon-ng start wlan0
airodump-ng -i mon0
airmon-ng appears to succeed, outputting the following and no warnings:
Interface Chipset Driver
wlan0 Unknown iwlwifi - [phy0]
(monitor mode enabled on mon0)
