Hello all,

I have a AWUS036ACH - and as of 2 weeks ago (I was running some 2023.X at that time) it was working fine. I could monitor, inject, you name it.

I decided to reinstall with 2024.2 today, and as usual installed the realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms package. The modules built, and after connecting the adapter I got my interface.

airmon-ng start seemed to work, the interface went to monitor mode.

However after this - packet counters via ifconfig weren't incrementing at all, wifite sees nothing, tcpdump sees nothing. As I said this was working just 2 weeks ago under whatever 2023 version I had on this machine.

I also tried manually setting monitor mode via 'iw' command (but I'm pretty sure this is the same thing airmon-ng is doing anyway...)

I tried with and without changing the MAC. No matter what, this adapter is dead silent in 2024.2.

Anyone know if this is a known issue or seeing the same behavior ?

Thanks.
