Description lipkegu 2016-05-18 11:57:22 UTC 
The package "Aircrack-ng" has missing dependencies. 

Airmon-ng as its own needs: 
rfkill, 
ethtool, 
wireless-tools
iw
iwconfig 


to put wireless cards into monitor mode. these dependencies are also mentored on the webpage on the aircrack-ng site =(

When i select the package it does not select these dependencies :(

Linux

    Airmon-ng requires ethtool and rfkill
    LibNetlink 1 (libnl-dev) or 3 (libnl-3-dev and libnl-genl-3-dev) development packages
    Kernel headers and gcc as well as make have to be installed on your system (build-essential on Debian based distributions)
Comment 2 Arnout Vandecappelle 2016-05-18 19:02:28 UTC 
aircrack-ng is a toolbox with several tools. Not all of them require iw, iwconfig, etc. It is possible that some users only require the tools that don't use these.

That said, it would make sense to mention that explicitly in the help text. I'll submit a patch doing exactly that.

But I'm marking this bug as WONTFIX because we will not select ethtools, iw, etc.

If you disagree, feel free to reopen.
