Confirmed to work with some editing on my setup. uname output:

# uname -a
Linux magister-mentium 4.19.0-14.1-liquorix-amd64 #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT liquorix 4.19-9ubuntu1~cosmic (2019-01-10) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Tested actions

The following things are tested :

• Monitor mode (you have to get your hands dirty a little with ifconfig wlan1 down and iwconfig wlan1 mode monitor, lazy things like airmon-ng start wlan1 refuses to work) : airodump-ng works. aireplay-ng successfully deauthenticates me.
• Injection test : well, readers, decide it. (It's not the problem with the APs if you ask; my PCIe AR9285 perfectly passes.)

Don't worry about the errors, I created them when adding adapter support yesterday.

Anyhow, clean source is available from ftp3.realtek.com.

And I'll add support to aircrack-ng (in airmon-ng) within a few days too, so you don't need to set it manually.

Not that much errors, but mate, can you make your driver speak less? :) It's bloating my dmesg output.

And I'll add support to aircrack-ng (in airmon-ng) within a few days too, so you don't need to set it manually.

Just testing things a little in case someone hesitates.

Maybe I'll give it a try on Arch's official 4.20 kernel tomorrow.

[kimocoder]

Yes, I have lots to do, so I need the debug for now, but I'll remove the most spamming one this evening.

[minhducsun2002]

this evening.

I'm at GMT+7, which means, at the time of writing this it would already been night for me though :| Anyway, looking forward for your intervention to make the driver less talkative. :)

[kimocoder]

I pushed some fixes, I'll do some more important ones tomorrow too

[quickreflex]

Wonderful! Thanks for the new version. I will try it and I can open another branch.

[quickreflex]

I'm uploading the latest patches for this new version. Included are updates in the Linux kernel at 4.19, 4.20, 5.0 and 5.1. v5.3.9_28540.tar.gz
