In a course named ethical Hacking for beginners , I learned that wifi has some modes in which we can switch between but I don't know that what was the normal mode and how to switch on it

I used following commands :-

ifconfig wlo1 down
iwconfig wlo1 mode monitor
ifconfig wlo1 up

The "normal" mode is called managed. Just type:

ifconfig wlo1 down
iwconfig wlo1 mode managed
ifconfig wlo1 up

You may need to restart some services that you killed:

service network-manager restart

Managed mode is what you want:

$ sudo ifconfig wlo1 down
$ sudo iwconfig wlo1 mode managed
$ sudo ifconfig wlo1 up

And then restart networking:

$ sudo service network-manager restart

1. Run:

   sudo airmon-ng stop wlan0mon

2. Make sure your adapter is showing up. If it's not up, run:

   ifconfig wlan0 up

3. Restart the services that you killed.

4. Run:

   service NetworkManager start

Note: service network-manager start will give a message saying it's not installed. Hence, run:

sudo service NetworkManager start

Your Wi-Fi adapter should restart at this point, so give it a second to show up.

I recently had this problem but what fixed it for me was

Sudo apt-get install - - reinstall network-manager

I hope this helps, Some useful commands I've learned along this journey are

// lspci / displays pci //

Lsusb / ports //

Netstat - I /network services //

Ip link show / can display your wlan0 card if not detected by ifconfig

// Lspci also helps //

Rfkill show all / my laptop had a "hard block" button that had an override over my wlan0, pressing ctrl c fixed this for me //

Iwconfig / was used to check the status of my wlan0 card //

Airmon-ng / showed my wlan0 card type as I originally thought it was a driver issue //

Dhclient wlan0 / started a dhcp client as to try to resume connectivity // //WL-

3 year-old question, but none of the answers seem to work anymore. What you want to do is run:

sudo airmon-ng stop wlp3s0mon
sudo service network-manager restart

replace wlp3s0mon with your wifi adapter name. Mine gets renamed from wlp3s0 to wlp3s0mon so I use that (this is when running wifite2). I even put the two commands into a bash script so I can double-click on it. It'll ask for root password, do its thing, and close the terminal.
