Description (last modified by misterx) (diff)

Sometimes people complains because airodump-ng or aireplay-ng stop working after some time or it doesn't work. A network manager may be running and changing card mode back to managed. airodump-ng and aireplay-ng should indicate the user which network managers are running and why not having an option to kill them automatically.

Should be done on 1.0-dev also

List:

  • wpa_action
  • wpa_cli
  • wpa_supplicant
  • dhclient
  • dhclient3
  • knetworkmanager
  • network-manager. Process Name: NetworkManager
  • network-manager-gnome (is this the real process name?)
  • NetworkManagerDispatcher
  • RutilT (ralink NM)
  • netcfg2
  • netcfg
  • net-profiles

Windows:

  • Wireless Zero Configuration, but it should check if the service is running (WZCSVC) because the process is svchost and other services use this process.

we shouldn't kill these processes unless we are sure they mean trouble, we could put a list in --test to choose to kill known processes.

airodump-ng and aireplay-ng will warn if it finds any of them and offer to kill them. Also, they will refuse to run if any of them is running to avoid any bug report.

Added windows network manager.

the offer of killing these processes should be a last resort for users which don't know any better. the wpa* tools are likely to have been called by some initd script and we shouldn't fumble with those

In archlinux there is a network manager called netcfg2, the daemon name is net-profiles. I also think there is one older one, netcfg, with a daemon name of network. I am not 100% sure of this.
