Hey Everyone, I'm new to the community and new to hacking in general. I'm a complete newbie trying to learn the ropes. So hero is my question, I recently decided to use Linux as my OS. I have successfully downloaded it and created a USB Drive. I'm having a bit of trouble accessing / enabling the Wifi once on Linux. Can anyone provide any answers or suggestions?

Start with having a look at your Interfaces:
ifconfig
iwconfig
Are they Up or Down?

As for my wifi card, I'm using a macbook air and when I look under the system report for wifi interfaces this is what I get.

Hello,
Mr. Motta, I have the same configuration on one of my personal devices. I have looked thru various websites - as recommended here by others- and still have some problems. could you please tell me which websites helped you find an external usb wifi card that is was able to make your MacBook aircrack compatible? I am hoping to do do it dual boot rather than single boot but this isn't a deal-breaker.
Ok I know my wifi card is AirPort Extreme, is it compatible with Airmon-ng?
Victor:
Check the aircrack-ng website for compatibility.
