Impossible to put monitor mode Ubuntu 19 #448

Hello Recently I've installed a fresh Ubuntu 19, I installed all aircrack-ng features but I can't put monitor mode my wireless card RTL8812AU

Got this error:

PHY Interface Driver Chipset

phy0 wlan0 ath9k Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) phy2 wlan1 88XXau Linksys WUSB6300 802.11a/b/g/n/ac [Realtek RTL8812AU] (monitor mode enabled) Error setting channel: command failed: Device or resource busy (-16) Error -16 likely means your card was set back to station mode by something. Removing non-monitor wlan1 interface... (monitor mode disabled)

At the moment I'm using WICD network management. How can I solve that?

I've also tried the latest 5.6.4.1 and can't put the device in monitor mode via iwconfig or iw.

ZeroChaos- commented 5 years ago

based on some feedback it seems this may be limited to 5.3.x kernels

ZeroChaos- commented 5 years ago

positive confirmation this works in kernel 5.2.x but does not on 5.3.x.

Yes,had some time to look into several things.. this is the case..

Scanning isn't working on newer kernels (by iw), BUT.. when running wifite2 everything works perfect! ?? (recommend v5.6.4.1 over v5.2.20 atm. not for 8821au though)
I actually struggle to get packet injection working using "iw" now, but when using "airmon-ng start wlan1" it works like a charm.. ??

Got some more time this weekend :+1:

airmon-ng start uses iwconfig for this driver, not iw

Ok, thanks, but how can you add a new "monitor interface" for rtl8812AU? I have tried using wifite2 but the program cannot set the monitor mode, nor make a new monitor interface

kimocoder commented 5 years ago

Found solution for scanning.. need to do "ifconfig up" before "iwlist scanning"

ZeroChaos- commented 5 years ago

You know "iwlist scanning" and monitor mode are different things, right? This bug is about not being able to set monitor mode.

kimocoder commented 5 years ago

Uploading v5.6.4.2 base from Realtek.. stay put, I'll start right away

kimocoder commented 5 years ago

@acdcjavier The v5.6.4.2 branch is working fine for 8812AU now, update, build, install and reboot to load new module.

Open a new issue report if you got more issues, or this doesn't work for you in any way. :+1:
