NetworkManager "breaks" driver

[IakovlevAA]

I've done some tests with AWUS036ACH on Ubuntu 22.04.2/Ubuntu MATE and get to point that NetworkManager is doing something to adapter and breaking the whole system. I've used airodump-ng to see captured packets and there are difference in driver's work. If NetworkManager is active, before configuring adapter, driver can't capture nothing and switching all channels, even if I stay on 2.4Ghz channels using sudo airodump-ng wlan3. As you can see , there are no packets/beacons captured and there are 5Ghz channels. But it's working fine, if configuring adapter when NetworkManager is down. Waiting some time is not a solution, the only thing that helped is sudo service NetworkManager stop before configuring adapter.

Also, there is no problem in OpenWrt, as it doesn't have NetworkManager

Did you find a solution?

I've added commands to configure adapter in rc.local with disabling networkManager
