As long as wlan0 is put into monitor mode, it is working fine. It could be called wlan0mon or mon0 or prism0 as it is called here, just like how a Wi-Fi card could be called wlan0 or ath0, or almost anything else. Either I don't understand what you are asking or you don't have a problem. Just remember to use prism0 in future commands like airodump-ng.

    Overview



    Although you can use airmon-ng to put an interface into monitor mode, you can also do it using iwconfig. Make sure you have root privilages!



    Put wlan0 into monitor mode:



    ifconfig wlan0 down

    iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor

    ifconfig wlan0 up


    Kill process that could interfere:



    airmon-ng check kill


    Now you can run an airodump-ng scan with the interface into monitor mode by running the command airodump-ng wlan0



    Put interface back into managed mode when finished:



    ifconfig wlan0 down

    iwconfig wlan0 mode managed

    ifconfig wlan0 up

    service network-manager restart
