-The basic concept behind this tutorial is using aireokat-bg replay an ARP packet to generate new unique IVs.  In turn, aircrack-ng uses the new unique IVs to crack the WEP key.  It is important to understand what an ARP packet is.  This [[arp-request_reinjection#what_is_arp|"What is an ARP?"]] section provides the details.+The basic concept behind this tutorial is using aireplay-ng replay an ARP packet to generate new unique IVs.  In turn, aircrack-ng uses the new unique IVs to crack the WEP key.  It is important to understand what an ARP packet is.  This [[arp-request_reinjection#what_is_arp|"What is an ARP?"]] section provides the details.

-In the response above, you can see that ath0 is in monitor mode, on the 2.452GHz frequency which is channel 9 and the Access Point shows the MAC address of your wireless card.  Please note that only the madwifi-ng drivers show the MAC address of your wireless card, the other drivers do not do this.  So everything is good.   It is important to confirm all this information prior to proceeding, otherwise the following steps will not work properly.+In the response above, you can see that ath0 is in monitor mode, on the 2.452GHz frequency which is channel 9 and the Access Point shows the MAC address of your wireless card.  Please note that only the madwifi-ng drivers show the MAC address of your wireless card, the other drivers do not do this.  So everything is good.
