Linux Backtrack 4 wireless air unable to dump packet using Intel 3945 ABG card

Hi Everyone,

I've been using Backtrack 4 installed in my laptop which has Intel 3945 ABG card, i am unable to connect to the wifi network but somehow that is not the priority since i can scan the wireless LAN signal in which I'd like to test the security (WEP protected).

but somehow when i run the command "airodump-ng --channel 6 --bssid 00:60:64:29:1F:AB -w DW-result wlan0" it failed, see the blow attached error message ?

at the moment i don't have internet connection in that laptop and wondering what should i do now here to begin using airodump-ng ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
