Enabling monitor mode

For DroneBridge to work the WiFi adapter must be in monitor mode. You can set the cards to monitor mode using the following bash script (root privileges required):
1
interface='yourinterfacename'
2
ip link set $interface down
3
iw dev $interface set type managed
4
ip link set $interface up
5
iw dev $interface set bitrates legacy-2.4 54
6
ip link set $interface down
7
iw dev $interface set type monitor
8
ip link set $interface up
9
iw dev $interface set freq 2472
10
​
11
echo $interface
12
iwconfig
Copied!
In DroneBridge the script /startup/init_wifi.py is used to setup the cards. You may want to use it.
