Alfa card has no problems entering monitor mode, but packet injection fails every time. From what I've read the chipset and driver are supposed to be supported, and I've seen other users post successful injections with the same chipset. I have found a similar thread, and tried to follow the advice there, but no luck. That thread was specific to a VM-deployment of Kali, so I decided to open a new one as I am running Kali off a Raspberry Pi 3. None of the suggestions I've tried have worked. At this point I'm out of ideas. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Essential Info:
Version: Kali 4.4.50-v7 #1, armv71
Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3 (B); 32gb microSD card
Wireless Card:Alfa AWUS051NH v.2, RT3572 chipset, driver rt2800usb

1) Related thread on Kali Forums - Attempted several suggestion from this page, but nothing worked. The last poster had what I thought was the best suggestion I've seen so far:
However this still did not solve my problem.I also downloaded drivers from Alpha for Linux. In firmware zip is rt2870.bin, renamed /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin (from instalation and updated via apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y followed by apt-get distro-upgrade) to /lib/firmware/rt2870.bin.old I then copied the rt2870.bin from Alpha website to /var/firmware. Restarted box shutdown -r now. Now everything works as intendted so far.
2) Kali Bugs - This card has a known issue with injection over 5ghz networks, but that isn't my problem here. Still I linked this in case anyone wiser than I may find it helpful.
Again, thanks very much for any assistance (and for reading this, I know it was a lot).
