I don't have an ALFA AWUS036ACH v.2, Maybe someone else can answer the question.

The best RF amplifier is a high gain (directional) antenna. While increasing the TX power only works in one direction (transmitter to receiver), a high gain antenna works in both...

Usually MediaTek chipsets are running fine, because the drivers are well maintained. Tested drivers running arm (RaspBerry Pi) and x86_64 systems: mt76x0u https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool/discussions/361#discussioncomment-7550957 https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool/discussions/361#discussioncomment-7551660 https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool/discussions/361#discussioncomment-7553512 mt76x2u https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool/discussions/361#discussioncomment-7550759 https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool/discussions/361#discussioncomment-7550919 mt7601u https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool/discussions/361#discussioncomment-7551778...

I agree, the "base" ALFAs (ACM and ACHM) are working fine (and out of the box). I think the AXML will get this driver support sooner or later too. But...

Basically it is always the same procedure get information about the active services ``` $ sudo systemctl --type=service --state=running ``` It is always good idea to take a look at...

BTW: The frequency range of the AXML is really huge and I'm very excited to see a working monitor mode and working frame injection. As mentioned above, the regulatory domain...

And the range is poor (compared to 2.4 GHz).

hcxdumptool won't work as expected if running on a virtual interface. This is mentioned in "--help": ``` Important recommendation: ------------------------- Do not set monitor mode by third party tools or...

There have been massive changes in the mac80211 stack impacting all(!) device drivers: https://msgid.link/20240129194108.6d0ead50f5cf.I60d093b2fc81ca1853925a4d0ac3a2337d5baa5b@changeid If not, they will not work any longer and they have to be patched (e.g.: mt7615):...

Reported to bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218040 I decided to add Realtek to the list of "problematic drivers" regarding monitor mode and frame injection: https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool/commit/6298b7875b75a79b37579b003cb87935fe0cbb94 And I fully share your "humble opinion" regarding...
