Can't enable monitor mode on the external wifi adapter #96

Open spaul13 opened 6 years ago

I installed the driver for rtl8812au and using lsmod I can see that driver also. I also created a monitor mode interface using airmon-ng but somehow I can't enable the monitor mode operation for the external wifi usb adapter (ALFA AC1200 USB adapter).

Can anyone please tell me why? What I am missing?

Do not use the airmon-ng to enable the monitor mode. See README.md for instructions.

I have also used the instructions given in the README. But Nothing works.

Will you provide a little more information about the issue, at list output of the commands (replace wlan0 with the corresponding interface name): $ sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor $ sudo iw wlan0 info and dmesg output, related to the driver
