So, I got this kinda working. I start airodump-ng and after about 8 seconds it stops seeing anything happening. I ctrl+c to end airodump-ng and then start it again and it wont pick up on anything at all. I have to restart the wii for me to be able to pickup on networks again, but it only lasts for about 8 seconds.
Although this does not affect anything, but my wireless shows up as wlan1, not wlan0.
Also, when I have the linux booted, it does something that drowns out all of my other wifi. My computer suddenly stops transmitting data with my router until I shut my wii back off. Something screwy going on with this.
