Is the TP-Link TL-WN822N supported? If so, can we mention in the README? #16

The README recommends the TP-Link TL-WN722N. However, apparently this has been superseded by the TL-WN822N:

Can anybody confirm if this is supported with monitor mode/find-lf as well?

If so, does it make sense to mention this in the README?

Hmm - apparently there are currently 4 hardware versions.

Version 1 and 2 use an Atheros chipset - and work in mainline Linux with monitor mode.

Version 3 and 4 use a Realtek chipset, which doesn't work with monitor mode.

Can anybody confirm if version 1/2 also work with Raspberry Pi and find-lf?

I'm curious if there's any currently recommended USB Wi-Fi adapters as well?

Also - the fact that all these adapters are 2.4Ghz only - is that an issue?

Seems to work for me using tl-wn822n V5 and the process outlined in this repo : https://github.com/kimocoder/rtl8192eu on Ubuntu 18.04 (using kernel 5.0.0-37). I can see a lot of frames, it's the first time I did this to troubleshoot something, and am not sure I'm seeing all frames (I am somehow not seemingly seeing frames in both directions, need to look further into that),
