There are two possible reasons for this error I came through so far.
-
Device is in use: Kill all processes mentioned which could cause trouble, e.g.
kill -9 3258
(kills yourwpa_supplicant
) Update to latest
aircrack-ng
version: The documentation suggests to update to the latest version from svn.
If this does not help, you should provide more information/details on the issue.
