Wireless adapter detected but no wireless networks detected using USB rtl8812au

[hercules]

What have you tried: I tried installing a driver package for rtl8812au from GitHub as this particular wlan does not get detected automatically through plug and play

What is the error: After installing the driver, no wireless is detected. The internal laptop WLAN Intel Corp. AX210 works fine and shows the available wireless AP. This external USB seems to be installed correctly but it doesn’t detect any AP

What device is this on: Lenovo T480s physical device, running Kali Purple SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Kali 6.11.2-1kali1 (2024-10-15) with the latest updates

As you can see, there are two wireless adapters, wlan0 is internal AX210 and wlan1 is a USB device

lsusb confirms the correct detection of both adapters

Yet, when I try to connect to a wireless network using rtl8812au, it doesn’t detect any wireless network

Following are the steps I followed GitHub - aircrack-ng/rtl8812au: RTL8812AU/21AU and RTL8814AU driver with monitor mode and frame injection, and I notice that even when I run the following command using sudo, I still get access denied, so I ran it with root and it went fine

Running with root

Any help is highly appreciated

Thanks

P.S. Sorry for the confusion, I couldn’t write my post in one single body as I kept getting an issue due to the size of the text buffer

Haiii, I solved what I think is the the same issue on linux mint + I’m super bad at linux[so take everything I say with a grain of salt]
I found that using this driver instead made it so I could see my networks: GitHub - morrownr/8821au-20210708: Linux Driver for USB WiFi Adapters that are based on the RTL8811AU and RTL8821AU Chipsets - v5.12.5.2

I stopped using this adapter and switched to Panda much easier driver do far.

I was reading about that Alfa driver on GitHub and I thought it no longer worked
Any luck with it?

Realtek chipsets have crap linux support. One of these will just work. USB-WiFi/home/The_Short_List.md at main · morrownr/USB-WiFi · GitHub

Hello Hercules I was also intercepted with the same issue …most of the usb wifi sticks maynot be compatible for wlanmon exercise…
