wireless adapter problem rtl8188ftv

[mrsparklefingers]

hi
i am using kali linux 5.5.0 on virtualbox i got rtl8188ftv wireless adapter


lsusb



Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:f179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 802.11n
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 80ee:0021 VirtualBox USB Tablet
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

it didn't work in the first so i installed that driver
https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu.git
it works fine and it shows many networks but i doesn't support monitor mode and when i use airmon-ng i get an error that there is no wireless card

lwconfig




lo no wireless extensions.


eth0 no wireless extensions.

is there any method to solve that problem and turn on monitor mode or suggesting any driver that supports it

can you run airmon-ng and report result?

Try putting "kali realtek 8188" into google and pressing enter. First link in google is this forum with instructions and up to date S/W. And did you bother looking at dates? You loaded a really old driver so it ain't surprising things dont work. Reload things to start fresh and follow the instructions. Just like you got told before.

Driver, github, and instructions. Simple

[mrsparklefingers]

@willy19 hi i download the driver and followed all instructions in there but after installation there is no driver installed i followed these commands


echo blacklist r8188eu > /etc/modules/realtek.conf
make
make install
modprobe cfg80211
modprobe lib80211
insmod 8188eu.ko

@eyeflys i uninstalled the driver i mentioned when i found that it doesn't support monitor mode


root@kali:~# airmon-ng

but before uninstalling it there was one more driver wlan0 rtl8188fu

Then you didnt follow the instructions. not alot more to say. The airodump bug was fixed and everyone else reported it working great, and those instructions worked for me. You arent doing something right.

I am having the exact same problem described in this thread

I started with a clean kali install each time

Out of the box, kali 2020.3 did not recognize RTL8188FTV adapter (can see it using lsusb but nothing in iwconfig).

First attempt with https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus (everything installed fine, rebooted after install)
-> no change -- wifi still doesn't work, can't see adapter

Second attempt with https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu.git (everything installed fine, started with a clean/stock kodi)
-> progress! the adapter shows up and I can connect to networks but can't put it into monitor mode

It seems there hasn't been much progress on the rtl8188ftv driver

Any help would be appreciated

Seems that monitor mode in rtl8188ftv is supported, but disabled by default. Try to use this driver: https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu : after cloning just find the following flags in the Makefile, disable power saving and enable monitor mode:


CONFIG_POWER_SAVING = y

and


CONFIG_WIFI_MONITOR = n

hi alexthefifth (https://forums.kali.org/member.php?190783-alexthefifth)

I have the same problem with you.
Were you able to find a solution?

[nu11secur1ty]

Hello guys, this is not a problem, som of the RTL wifi and Lan adapters are just not supported by all OS's, especially after 2019. ;)
Or their not completely software developed, which means, there have no modules for them, there have only for communication. ;)

Thanks for the clarification

You can install the driver for rtl8188ftv from this git repo : https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu


sudo apt-get install build-essential git dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)
git clone https://github.com/kelebek333/rtl8188fu
sudo dkms add ./rtl8188fu
sudo dkms build rtl8188fu/1.0
sudo dkms install rtl8188fu/1.0
sudo cp ./rtl8188fu/firmware/rtl8188fufw.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/
