    Broadcom BCM43438 A1 is recognized as Broadcom 43430? Injections partly working.

    Im using an "Redbear iot pHAT (for RASPBERRY PI 2B), that contains the Broadcom BCM43438 A1 chipset. This chipset supports both Bluetooth and Wifi.

    You get a strange error message in Kali_ARM when you put it in monitor mode (see below), but it still works and create the wlan0mon interface, and youre able to put the card in monitor mode and send de-auth, to catch a handshake, and it both sends it and catch it correctly However...

    It seems that its not correct recognized, and partly not working in monitor mode,

    Running "aireplay-ng -9 wlan0mon" returns with "working" however it only returns 1 of 30 injections made (3%) despite its only 10 meters from router, so i suppose its only supporting it partly, or the drivers somehow is not working properly

    Latest firmware on Redbear iot pHAT = 005..
    error message from airmon-ng below

    root@kali:~# airmon-ng start wlan0

    Found 2 processes that could cause trouble.
    Kill them using 'airmon-ng check kill' before putting
    the card in monitor mode, they will interfere by changing channels
    and sometimes putting the interface back in managed mode

    PID Name
    227 NetworkManager
    333 wpa_supplicant

    PHY Interface Driver Chipset

    phy0 wlan0 brcmfmac Broadcom 43430

    (mac80211 monitor mode vif enabled for [phy0]wlan0 on [phy0]wlan0mon)

    command failed: Unknown error 524 (-524)
    (mac80211 station mode vif disabled for [phy0]wlan0)

    root@kali:~#
    So the question is, is there a workaround, or will this be fixed later?
