Stuck on "Waiting for beacon" about reaver-wps

Have you enabled monitor mode on your wireless card?

I had the same (non-)issue:

You can use aircrack's airmon-ng script(http://www.aircrack-ng.org/) to get 
monitor mode on most wireless cards.

Yes, notice in your iwlist output the wlan0 interface is in "Master" mode, not 
"Monitor" mode. The monitor mode interface is likely named mon0.

Yup that and building the latest code from svn did the trick.

Just as a note so you know this works. I also installed it on a VMware 
Workstation 8 VM (also Fedora 16) and used the same hardware and it works there 
as well. So with multiple different VMs and NICs you can run multiple instances 
from one computer.

Thanks again!
