    Raspberry Pi - RTL8188CUS Wifi dongle Monitor mode issue

    Hi guys

    I own a Wifi USB dongle: RTL8188CUS. I have a personal laptop which runs Kali Linux, and when i plug it to my Laptop i can get it into monitor mode with no issues.

    Unfortunatly, the issue begins when i plug the same dongle to my Raspberry Pi 2 B. On my Pi, i run Kali Linux as well, and i'm trying to get the same dongle into monitor mode with airmon-ng, and with "iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor", but Both fails. Looks like to me that its not a hardware issue, since i can get it into monitor mode on my laptop, but not on the pi.

    The Airmon-ng shows on the PHY "null" for some reason.

    Just to mention, my Pi recognizes the dongle well, and i'm getting wifi signal and can clearly see the interface of the dongle on iwconfig. however the only issue is with the monitor mode.

    few things i already try:

    updated realtek firmware with apt-get install firmware-realtek
    Also Tried airmon-ng check kill
    Aircrack is updated to the last version


    Any suggestions? Thank you guys
