Thanks for your report. I pushed a fix.

[arifrahmanumam]

How is the progress on this issue? Is there anyone who can provide a solution?

[dubhater]

I pushed a fix. You can run git pull and make and try again.

Thank you! With your help, my USB Wi-Fi adapter "CHANEVE RTL8812AU" is now functioning properly and supports monitor mode.

The problem now is that I can’t switch it back to managed mode. When I try to revert to managed mode, it stays in monitor mode unless I unplug the USB Wi-Fi adapter and plug it back in, then it switches to managed mode. However, this isn't a major issue. Once again, thank you for your help!
