TP-Link TL-WN821N & TL-WN722N not entering monitor mode =(
Hey there, hope someone can help me, I've been a Kali user and abuser for a little over a year now, not a noob, but not a great magic worker either, I can kinda hold my own and get by, cause it's Linux.
Now, the problem I have is this, it's drivers for wifi dongles.
You see, here is the question though, when wi-fi hacking, I have 2 different TP-Link adapters that have, Ralink chipsets in them, the TP-Link TL-WN722N v5 and the TP-Link TL-WN821N and for no love or toiling sweat or forum searching have I been able to find a way to get these b@$t@rd$ to go into monitor mode, if I can get Kali to recognize them at all.

Here's the thing about the forums, they just shuffle you off to download a GitHub G++ make driver, and when I do that, still nothing, I can see the wi-fi adapter, it can catch wi-fi, but it will not switch to monitor mode.
I have an Atheros chipset in my PCIe wireless card, which Kali picks up on initial install, which goes into monitor mode quite happily, but not the TP-Link adapters...
Am I doing something wrong?
Does Kali just not like Ralink chipsets?
Cause this is really grinding my gears...
