Quick Troubleshooting (if something goes wrong)
If you run into errors while using Wipwn, don’t panic. Most issues can be fixed with a few simple checks. Try these first:
| Problem | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Check the help menu | Not sure if Wipwn is installed correctly | Run wipwn --help or sudo wipwn --help. If you see the help menu, it is installed fine. If not, repeat the installation steps carefully. |
| No networks found | Hotspot or location services are off, or adapter is busy | Turn on Hotspot and Location Services. Make sure your Wi-Fi adapter is not already connected. |
| Device or resource busy (-16) | Wi-Fi interface is locked by another process | Toggle Wi-Fi ON → OFF, then try again. |
