rtw88-usb isn't ready yet, but the chipset should be compatible with mac80211, so as features get added you should be able to use them. You should try it here: https://github.com/ulli-kroll/rtw88-usb
Principle difference: rtw88 uses mac80211 to do what it does, which gives an interface for very fine control over what the hardware does; in particular, monitor mode comes naturally as a VIF (virtual interface) on all hardware capable of using it.
In Linux 6.2, 8822BU is already supported by rtw88:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/v6.2/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88
Unfortunately my chipset is the rtl8812BU, which I was able to get working in managed mode with https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu.
However, the chipset fails to enter monitor mode.
Do you mind revealing your adapter model, vendor ID and device ID?
Even though the filename is rtw8822bu.c
, the file itself apparently also includes adapters of 8812BU chipsets (I used this webpage as a reference).
So I think rtw88 in 6.2 may also support 8812BU.
Hello, Will this driver work with my RTL88x2BU? If not, could you point me to a driver that will work with monitor mode?
Many thanks, Jacob
