+ | airmon-ng has two options to show more information, | ||
+ | |||
+ | === --verbose flag === | ||
+ | |||
+ | It gives information about the system as well as details about the wireless card. | ||
+ | |||
+ | root@kali: | ||
+ | | ||
+ | No LSB modules are available. | ||
+ | Distributor ID: Kali | ||
+ | Description: | ||

+ | Linux kali 4.19.0-kali4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.28-2kali1 (2019-03-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux | ||
+ | Detected VM using lspci | ||
+ | This appears to be a VMware Virtual Machine | ||
+ | If your system supports VT-d, it may be possible to use PCI devices | ||
+ | If your system does not support VT-d, you can only use USB wifi cards | ||
+ | | ||
+ | K indicates driver is from 4.19.0-kali4-amd64 | ||
+ | V indicates driver comes directly from the vendor, almost certainly a bad thing | ||
+ | S indicates driver comes from the staging tree, these drivers are meant for reference not actual use, BEWARE | ||
+ | ? indicates we do not know where the driver comes from... report this | ||

+ | |||
+ | In this case, the following additional informatio can be seen: | ||
+ | - Detailed information about the Linux distribution as well as kernel version | ||
+ | - System is a virtual machine (and detailed information about supported features) | ||
+ | - Detailed driver information (kernel, vendor driver, staging or unknown source), wireless stack, current operating mode and firmware version | ||
+ | |||
+ | === --debug flag === | ||
+ | |||
+ | It will give the same information as verbose and add more details: | ||
