I tried to put my wifi adapter into monitor mode. It is a ALFA AWUS036NHA with AR9271 chipset.
The Kali version is: Kali Linux RaspberryPi 2 (v1.2), 3 and 4 64-Bit, 2020.1a
All the possible interfering programs were killed before.
Result: "airmon-ng" hangs forever. Also the "ip addr" command does not work anymore (hangs as well).
Running "dmesg --follow" while that happens shows the following dump:

How can I diagnose this further? Thanks in advance!
