OWL works, but opendrop doesn't

[littleblack111]

for context: I’m using Intel Wireless 7265 for wifi card, but the network is using ethernet I am using https://github.com/seemoo-lab/owl and https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop. I use owl -i wlp2s0 -N(because without -N, ERROR: Error while receiving via netlink: Operation not supported), then opendrop recive. doesn't work, opendrop find doesn't work as well. although I can see when i click airdrop on macbook, it will add peer on owl's log

same here, guess new IOS and OSX changes some workflow in AWDL protocol which ignore opendrop service.

Look at this: https://github.com/seemoo-lab/owl/issues/9 It might be that your wireless card doesn't support active monitor mode, which is needed by owl as in the README of https://github.com/seemoo-lab/owl .

Requirements Wi-Fi card with active monitor mode. To use OWL, you will need a Wi-Fi card supporting active monitor mode with frame injection.

That's why OWL throws an error without the -N. With -N, OWL doesn't throw an error, but simply doesn't work. OWL needs monitor mode to create the awdl0 interface, because Apple devices don't do AirDrop over WLAN, do they?
