Problem I can not start monitor mode via airmon-ng:

However changing to monitor mode using "iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor" works fine:

the "airodump-ng wlan0" command is working fine after that and the second "iwconfig" command shows the card is in monitor mode

Thank you I have the same issue

Bump?

Hi there!

The astsam driver does not support virtual interface, therefor you have to manually put it in monitor mode with:

ifconfig down iwconfig mode monitor ifconfig up

Please report back.

In my case it was not virtual, but I can try that again later.

It does not have virtual support, eg: not supported by airmon-ng, but it should work manually, as i wrote. I run on these myself :)
