2. If you have this problem after fresh installation:
-
How did you create USB bootable?
- Software used: Rufus-3.8p
- Steps of making USB bootable: Default settings, burn mode: “DD Image” since “ISO” throws an error during installation (happens with Kali too)
-
How did you install OS?
- Debian installer or Calamares installer?
I don’t know, guess it’s Debian
- Debian installer or Calamares installer?
3. If your hardware doesn’t work: wifi doesn’t show, graphic issue:
Hardware information
- Your device name or output of `lspci`
```
The error is related to wifi, so output of "lspci -nn | grep Network" is:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM 4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:4727] (rev 01)
```
- Did you try searching info about this issue on search engine? Please write No or any URL to this issue bellow
Yes, other community closed without a solution posts, StackOverflow and a couple youtube videos.
4. How did you get this error? Are there any steps to procedure it?
1. I installed Parrot OS
2. I ran "sudo airmon-ng start wlan0"
3. It shows me: experimental wl monitor mode vif enabled for [phy0]wlan0 on [phy0]prism0
5. Error log or screenshot
I am able to start listening and injecting packets with “airodump-ng prism0”, since wlan0 doesn’t turn into wlan0mon I’m not able to use tools like airgeddon, wifite or similar. When I try to select wlan0 and put it into monitor mode it says that it isn’t supported (while it is, since I’ve been using this interface as monitor mode with Kali for a while). I can’t use prism0 either as it retrieves that this interface isn’t a wifi chip.
6. If you have any idea or suggestion about this issue please tell us
For what I’ve been reading it looks like that it has something to do with drivers, I tried solving it but there was no success. I tried “modprobe”, updating and upgrading, using “iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor” (retrieves this: Error for wireless request “Set Mode” (8B06) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.)
If you are having suggestion for our OS, please write it bellow
1. Current Parrot version and Parrot version you want it has
2. Its section and how it affects our system
- Affects wireless auditing, I have to plug in an external RaLink device in order to perfom it.
3. Any other information about this idea
PLEASE HAVE IN MIND: I’ve been using the mentioned Broadcom chipset with Kali without any problems. I’m loving Parrot’s GUI, it has almost the same tools for auditing but this drivers problem is making me reconsider which Distro to use.
Thanks in advance.
