Hi, I am having issues with monitor mode with ubuntu 14.04 and the intel 3160 chip. I am having similar issues with 3.13 and a 7265 chip on a intel NUC Monitor mode says it takes but it captures no packets and help would be appreciated Thanks John Commands that trigger the crash : sudo ifconfig wlan0 down sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor sudo ifconfig wlan0 up Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS uname -a: Linux 3.13.0-62-generic #102-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 11 14:29:36 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux lspci -k : 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 3160 (rev 83) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi dmesg: [ 2481.330395] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: L1 Disabled - LTR Enabled [ 2481.330722] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: L1 Disabled - LTR Enabled [ 2481.344124] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Microcode SW error detected.
