Greetings,
Host OS: Mac OSX 10.10.5
Guest OS: Linux kali 4.0.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.0.4-1+kali2 (2015-06-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux
VM Host: Parallels Desktop 10.2.2 (29015)
Wireless Adapter: Linksys WUSB3600 (Realtek RTL8812AU)
Wireless Driver: rtl8812au-master (https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au)
Driver installed properly and adapter bound to VM
I receive the following error when attempting to put the adapter into monitor mode using airmon-ng or iwconfig:
Code:
root@kali:~/Desktop/rtl8812au-master# sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :

Code:

When I attempt to view nearby devices using airodump-ng, this is the message I receive:
Code:
root@kali:~/Desktop/rtl8812au-master# sudo airodump-ng wlan0
ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) failed: Invalid argument
ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) - expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211,
ARPHRD_IEEE80211_FULL or ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM instead. Make
sure RFMON is enabled: run 'airmon-ng start wlan0 <#>'
Sysfs injection support was not found either.
DMESG reports:

I'm not clear on why dmesg is reporting on RTL871X instead of RTL8812 - is this expected behaviour.
In any case - the adapter is bound to this VM but I can't seem to enter monitor mode.
Any insight would be appreciated.
