Ubuntu 11 10 aireplay ng and the mon0 is on channel 1 error and how to fix it shell script included

I had recently upgrade my Ubuntu install to 11.10. Along with other annoyances I came across I ran into a bit of a deal breaker when I went to run aireplay-ng. I was getting the following error:


This was going to be a huge problem since I know that my ZyDAS 1211 chip set was compatible with packet injection. After searching around for a bit I found a great solution from this site here about the drivers and how to patch and reinstall the older ones back in. Below I have a script that you can run to get that installed.

Ubuntu OpenVPN installation script

One of my most popular tutorials was one in which I explained how to set up an OpenVPN server. Well I got tired of all the manual steps, so I created a script to take care of it for me. One needs to make sure to press "y" on the confirmations when building keys etc, otherwise it will not work (i.e. dont just hold down the enter button).

The first thing it asks you is for the path where you are going to stick the VPN config files on your local machine. You can fill this with junk, but that will mean you will have to update the client.conf file when you copy it to your local machine, so that it points to the other files as necessary.

#!/bin/bash
if ! [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ];then
 echo "This is not bash, calling self with bash....";
 SCRIPT=$(readlink -f "$0")
 /bin/bash $SCRIPT
 exit;
fi

# Check have sudo/root permissions.
USER=`whoami`

if [ "$USER" != "root" ]; then
 echo "You need to run me with sudo!"
 exit
fi

# Ask the user for the path where they are going to stick the VPN config files
read -e -p "Path where you will store client configs (your local machine): 
" 
-i "/home/USER/my-vpn" CONFIG_FILE_PATH

# Update OS to latest
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

# Install needed packages
sudo apt-get install openvpn openssl udev -y

# Fix issue with openssl

sudo rm /etc/openvpn/client.conf
service openvpn restart

echo Now move the "vpn-details.tar.gz" folder to your local computer and carry on from there.
echo "You may want to reboot this server."

Now that has run, copy the vpn-details.tar.gz file as it specified to your local machine (SCP) and then run this command in your cli:

sudo openvpn --config /location/of/your/copied/files/client.conf
