Hello,

I have a Nexus 7 2012 version and a TP LINK WN722N usb dongle, I need to make it work in monitor mode using an USB OTG cable (if possible).

If I use lsusb I can see that the device is listed, but the dongle led never light up and if I use wifite command the Atheros device is not recognized.

Do I have to necessarily use an Y cable? This sound strange to me since if I connect my Nexus 7 to an USB storage using a normal OTG cable it is powered up, so why the dongle is not?

Do it depends on the kernel? Maybe do I have to install another one?

Could anyone give me any advice?


Thank you in advance for any replies.
