Airmon-ng net tools needed

I'm getting that airmon-ng needs net tools to run. This is my prodecure:

[root@arch ~]# wget http://mirror.us.leaseweb.net/archlinux/community/os/i686/aircrack-ng-1.1-8-i686.pkg.tar.xz

[root@arch ~]# pacman -U aircrack-ng-1.1-8-i686.pkg.tar.xz

[root@arch ~]# aircrack-ng

  Aircrack-ng 1.1 - (C) 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 Thomas d'Otreppe
  Original work: Christophe Devine

  usage: aircrack-ng [options] <.cap / .ivs file(s)>


[root@arch ~]# airmon-ng
Wireless tools not found

As you can see here airmon-ng isn't working because it's saying it requires net tools but I have net tools already installed. Any ideas how to solve this?

Re: Airmon-ng net tools needed

1. Why on earth are you doing this as root? 2. Why on earth are you manually downloading the files and using `pacman -U`? 3. Why not just install ``wireless_tools``?

All the best,

Re: Airmon-ng net tools needed

It's not saying that it requires net tools, it's saying it requires Wireless tools. Do you have wireless_tools installed?

Thank you, I've fixed the problem now with

pacman -S wireless_tools

I'm glad you got it worked out. Please add [Solved] to the beginning of your thread title.

Seriously though, why on earth were you manually downloading those packages?
