Heya guys, I have the same problem anyone fixed?

botulinski avatar Jun 02 '23 19:06 botulinski

to enable monitor mode run:

modprobe 8188eu
sleep 1
ifconfig wlan up
iw dev wlan set type monitor

also make sure that default driver for wlan isn't load by: ethtool -i wlan and if there is remove it: rmmod r8188eu or rmmod rtl8xxxu

where wlan is the interface's name
