You might send the link to this issue to him so he can come over here and provide more info.
I sent him the link so he can come here if he wants.
Okay. You are right. The kernel wireless mailing list is not for tech support. He will come much closer to finding answers here.
The interface is running an Realtek rtl8832AU chipset and Realtek drivers are well known not to like WIRELESS EXTENSIONS. ifconfig is deprecated, as well as iwconfig, too. This tools are WIRELESS EXTENSION dinosaurs and replaced by ip and iw: https://www.tecmint.com/deprecated-linux-networking-commands-and-their-replacements/ To get information about the capabilites use $ iw dev and $ iw list
Regarding airodump-ng I'm sure, you will get help/information here: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng/discussions
But you also can try hcxdumptool (latest git head 6.2.9-93-g4e0a783): Do not use iw, iwconfig or airodump.ng to set monitor mode before! There no need to use this tools, because hcxdumptool set interface up/down and activate monitor mode (if the interface support this, it activate active monitor mode).
stop all services that take access to the interface, e.g.: NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant $ sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager.service $ sudo systemctl stop wpa_supplicant.service
get information about available interfaces $ sudo hcxdumptool -L
get information about interface capabilities $ sudo hcxdumptool -I wlan1
start penetration test on your entire NETWORK (AP & CLIENTs) $ sudo hcxdumptool -i wlan1 -F --attemptapmax=200 --beacontx=5
This was posted to the wireless mailing list but I hoped he would get more help here so I created an issue.
