Issue:

Cannot capture handshake with Edimax dongle (RTL8188CUS). I am able to put the dongle in monitor mode as well as send deauth with aireplay-ng but it does not seem to capture handshakes. If I connect this same dongle to my laptop running Kali Linux, it captures handshake just fine. Also, if I connect my Alfa card to my OnePlus One phone, I can capture handshakes just fine as well.

I have done an apt-get update, upgrade and dist-upgrade and still have this issue.

When connecting the Edimax dongle to my Kali Linux laptop, the airmon-ng output shows the Driver for it as being RTL8192CU. This Nethunter page (https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter/wiki/Wireless-Cards) says: "The following chipsets are supported by default in most, if not all, NetHunter kernels:" Realtek

• RTL8192CU

So it seems like it should be supported. That said, the output of airmon-ng in Nethunter shows the drivers for Edimax dongle and other wifi adapters as being "??????". Just an FYI in case that means anything.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Seems like it's getting the proper driver.

The following line shows that indeed Nethunter should have the proper driver for it: https://github.com/binkybear/AK-OnePone/blob/cm-13.0/arch/arm/configs/kali_defconfig#L1636

I’m having the same issue with this dongle on a Nexus 7 2013. dmsg is showing the same output as well.
