[Buildroot] Console warning using the package aircrack-ng

[Buildroot] Console warning using the package aircrack-ng

[Oscar Gomez Fuente]

Hi everyone,


I am using a raspberry pi 3B with an usb WiFi dongle with the chipset rtl8192c.

I have buildroot 2020.02 with the package aircrack-ng (ver1.6). I am
using the USB dongle in monitor mode. When I execute this command:

# /usr/sbin/airodump-ng wlan0mon --output-format csv --write /tmp/wifi_results

I've got this warning:

Warning: Detected you are using a non-UNICODE terminal character encoding.

And it seems to be that airodump-ng doesn't work properly.

Does anyone know how to fix this warning?

Run your command with:

	LANG=en_US.utf8 /usr/sbin/airodump-ng wlan0mon ...

in case en_US.utf8 is enabled in your buildroot config, otherwise rebuild with:

	BR2_GENERATE_LOCALE="en_US"

Is there anyway to set this LANG variable automatically from
buildroot? I would like to avoid using LANG=en_US.utf8 everytime I
need to execute /usr/sbin/airodump-ng.

For the installed system (and per login account):

	$  echo "export LANG=en_US.utf8" > ~/.profile

or /etc/profile for all accounts...

For the next build take a look at the BR2_ROOTFS_OVERLAY option ([1])...

Super easy, it worked perfectly. Thanks.
