Monitor Mode not working

Open vivek29081993 opened this issue 9 years ago • 5 comments

Hi there, I am using Dual-band Wireless-AC1200 USB 3.0 Wi-Fi Adapter in Kali Linux with kernel version 4.0.0-kali1-amd64.When I use the command :

" airmon-ng start wlan0"

The output is:

"No interfering processes found PHY Interface Driver Chipset

ethtool failed... only mac80211 devices on kernel 2.6.33 or higher are officially supported by airmon-ng"

and also the device stops blinking. The Monitor mode of the adapter is not working using this driver 8812au. Please help.

"iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor" doesn't work with D-Link DWA-172. @fatfarm what device do you have?

This driver does not support monitor mode. It is hardmac-based and therefore most likely will never support monitor mode.

I have the same adapter and I have a hard time with it. Same issues. Goes in monitor mode but does not show any connections at all. On the old driver. When I install the GitHub driver and do upgrade it does not show the wlan0. idk
