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

@littleblack111 -N tells it to not convert by itself but use existing monitor devices or other methods like Nexmon and thus will not work if you did not set a card into active monitor mode by yourself.

I assume you ran it as monitor, but that doesnt do the job completely. You need active monitor mode for that.

Yep, figured that my card don't support active monitoring mode
