Thanks, philsmd. That hcxtools... I'll probably try that one and see if it fixes the error (after I install the correct driver(s) that I need). I was using Aircrack-ng (w/ Wireshark in the background) to capture wlan data, but then I still have to convert those *.cap files to *.hccapx files. That hcxtools might enable Hashcat to read the captures better.
... Looking at my driver options, after I get the OpenCL runtime for the Intel CPU that I've got, do you suppose that I ought to go with the "AMDGPU-Pro Driver" (16.40 or later), since I'll be booted to The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) when I use Hashcat (and the The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) OS is where Hashcat is installed)? This setup is such that it was originally a Win7 machine, that was upgraded to Win10. I was going to set it up to dual boot between Win10/The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali), but the HDD's MBR partitioning scheme is already full with the max number of 4 primary partitions (whosever bright idea that was at the factory). So, I've got a ton of space left on the HDD for a The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) intall, but I'm hesitant to convert the partitioning scheme to GPT instead of MBR yet (supposedly it can be done with no data loss, but I'm not holding my breath just yet). So, in the meantime, I'm booting to The-Distribution-Which-Does-Not-Handle-OpenCL-Well (Kali) 2017.1 rolling release on a live USB drive.

... As far as trying to get the correct driver that I need, which one do you suppose I should try first? I'm not versed in Linux enough to feel confident about finding out that info yet (I don't think), but just nosing around some, I can see:
1) When I do: lspci -vnn | grep VGA -A 12 + [enter] ... I see the following output:

... That output displays more specific info for the Intel integrated graphics controller, but the bottom section does show "... [AMD/ATI] Robson CE [Radeon HD 6370M/7370M]". Only based on the above output, I would guess that I have an Intel grahics card, but I just glanced down a few minutes ago and noticed a sticker on this machine's case that said "ATI Mobility Radeon switchblade graphics". That kind of sways me to think that it's an AMD graphics card. I would just take the side off and look if it were a desktop unit, but it's a hassle to get into and last time, I broke one clip (meaningless, but still). I would normally snoop around and see what the hardware manager or device manager had to say (Windows), but I don't know my way around Linux that good yet. I guess maybe, I should try out the AMD driver first and then give the Intel one a try if the AMD one doesn't work?
Whichever graphics card driver I end up with, I'm guessing that I still ought to get the "OpenCL Runtime for Intel Core and Intel Xeon Processors" (16.1.1 or later); since the CPU is a CORE i5?
