Airodump exited unexpectedly about wifite2

how did you set wlan1 to monitor mode without renaming it to wlan1mon? did you use a different tool than airmon?

Ok, so I guess I'm not doing it right... I'm trying to ssh wirelessly to the rpi on wlan0 and run wifite.py on just wlan1. When I run wifite without arguments it disconnects both devices, which closes the ssh session. Is there a way to leave a perticular device alone? This is why I tried '-i wlan1' and fell apon the error.

You need to upgrade your aircrack-ng package to Airodump-ng 1.2 rc4, the version where the --write-interval command gets introduced.

I use 2 WiFi dongles just like you (one for SSH, other for monitoring). It works fine and yes, you need to explicitly use the -i option to choose your monitor interface with wifite otherwise you'll lose connection.

Ok, thank you this worked.

I upgraded my aircrack-ng package (raspbian apt seems to be on beta, so I built from source) and used sudo airmon-ng start wlan1 to put the dongle in monitor mode then sudo ./Wifite.py -i wlan1mon

It seems to be working fine, thanks again.

same on archlinux32, aircrack-ng-1.2rc4-4-i686
but in package aircrack-ng --help wrote aircrack-ng 1.2rc4!
hmmm... error in AVX opcodes
in git already fixed, thx

I have AWUS036ACH and Raspberry Pi 3 running on kali-linux-2018.2-rpi3-nexmon.
Airodump-ng is 1.2 rc4, but Wifite indicates that Airodump exited unexpectedly.
It looks like airodump-ng is having a problem creating "/tmp/wifiteGKkMLH/airodump-01.csv".
Here's the log.
