       airmon-ng  is script can be used to enable monitor mode on wireless interfaces. It may also be used to go
       back from monitor mode to managed mode. Entering the airmon-ng command without parameters will  show  the
       interfaces status.  It can list/kill programs that can interfere with the wireless card and set the right
       sources in /etc/kismet/kismet.conf too.

              Enable  monitor  mode on an interface (and specify a channel). Note: Madwifi-ng is a special case,
              'start' has to be used on wifi interfaces and 'stop' on ath interfaces.  stop <interface>  Disable
              monitor mode and go back to managed mode (except for madwifi-ng where it kills the ath VAP).

       check [kill]
              List all possible programs that could interfere with the wireless card. If 'kill' is specified, it
              will try to kill all of them.
