ALFA awus036a card monitort mode

[dexter1992]

Hi, I have a problem with the ALFA awus036a card. The card has drivers installed in kali linux rtl8812au. I mean the monitor mode, which should look like wlan0mon. The fact card goes into monitor mode after entering the iwconfig command, you can see that the monitor mode is on, but I cannot scan the network by such an error:

┌──(root💀kali)-[~]

Failed initializing wireless card(s): wlan1mon

[gspector]

did you do:
airmon-ng check kill
airmon-ng start wlan0

before you tried to do airodump? If you didn't, you havent created the virtual monitoring interface hence why airodump is unable to initialize.

If you do iwconfig and airmon-ng you should see the following output:
gspector@Kali-VM:~$ sudo airmon-ng

eth0 no wireless extensions.

it looks to me like you havent executed the commands up top.
