Hello,
According to a few different sites the USB-AC56 should be able do go into monitor mode.
- this site explicitly says so https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/USBAC56/
- this guys reported success with the same card https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...reless-adaptor
- this site also explicitly says so https://www.acrylicwifi.com/en/suppo...ible-hardware/
I have Kali installed directly on this laptop (just to make it as easy as possible. I'm just learning).
I buy the card. First I try the drivers from Asus' site https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/U...Desk_Download/. ./install.sh fails:
Which led me to an askubuntu (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1042...odules-error-2) about a similar error. From the errors in the console I was able to determine that I needed drivers for the rtl8812AU chipset and that, finally, led me to a working driver (https://github.com/diederikdehaas/rtl8812AU/)Code:: error: ?_timer {aka struct timer_list}? has no member named ?data? ptimer->data = (unsigned long)cntx;
Now I can see and use the USB-AC56! But it won't get into monitor mode. I figure out which one it is by running
, unplugging it, and runningCode:iwconfigagain. First I runCode:iwconfigto see if monitor mode is supported and if I am reading this right, yes it is supported:Code:iw list
Then I do:Code:Supported interface modes: * IBSS * managed * AP * monitor * mesh point * P2P-client * P2P-GO * P2P-device
and that gives:Code:ifconfig wlan1 down iwconfig wlan1 mode monitor fconfig wlan1 up iw list
so it's not in monitor mode. Similiarly, if I select that NIC in Wireshark, then Stop, then Capture Options, then click the monitor mode checkbox it immediately unchecks itself. Can you help a brotha-er out?Code:wlan1 unassociated Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>" Mode:Managed Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Sensitivity:0/0 Retry:off RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off Link Quality=0/100 Signal level=0 dBm Noise level=0 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
