I have Ubuntu 13.04
Broadcom bcm43142

When I run sudo airmon-ng or airmon-ng wlan0, it shows a black screen.

I can't type anything using the keyboard. I tried reinstalling, but got the same result. I also tried reinstalling Ubuntu. I can't even switch screens or try any shortcuts to remove the black screen.

  • It's not sudo airmon-ng or airmon-ng wlan0, it's supposed to be sudo airmon-ng start wlan0. What do you mean you get a black screen? As in, the terminal is not responding? Or your whole screen turns black? Why can't you take a screenshot of it? – Alaa Ali Jul 20 '13 at 16:54
  • uploaded the screenshot of it and i also tried the command you suggested above got the same result. – Franco Jul 20 '13 at 17:25
  • Oh, like that. It seems like others face this too (here, here (arch linux though), and here (Backtrack)). It seems to be a Broadcom/Atheros thing, and I'm guessing you have Broadcom because the dump screen shows the wl module. Try fully updating your machine (sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) and update/change the wireless driver. Take a look at the BROADCOM WIRELESS 43142 section in this answer. – Alaa Ali Jul 21 '13 at 05:39
