Monitor mode

To enable monitor mode, first we need to know the name of the interface.

# iwconfig 
eth0      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     unassociated  Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>"
          Mode:Auto  Frequency=2.412 GHz  Access Point: Not-Associated   
          Sensitivity:0/0  
          Retry:off   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off
          Link Quality:0  Signal level:0  Noise level:0

          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

With the interface name (wlan0 in this case) we can enable monitor mode:

# iwconfig wlan0 mode Monitor
