Hi! Can you copy the output of sudo airmon-ng start wlan1?

sudo airmon-ng start wlan0

I have a similar problem with my rtl8812bu wireless adapter.

I still cant get it to work with wifite2, but in a terminal, i run:

sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
sudo iwconfig wlan0 channel 4
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

.. where wlan0 is the interface you're trying to monitor from. If anyone knows whats up with that, please clue me in.
