Info: Update this driver with the following commands as needed:

$ git pull
$ sudo sh install-driver.sh

Note: Updates to this driver SHOULD be performed before distro
      upgrades such as Ubuntu 23.10 to 24.04.
Note: Updates to this driver SHOULD be performed before major
      upgrades such as kernel 6.5 to 6.6.
Note: Updates can be performed as often as you like. It is
      recommended to update at least every 3 months.
Note: Work on this driver, like the Linux kernel, is continuous.

Enjoy!

Do you want to edit the driver options file now? (recommended) [Y/n] n
Do you want to apply the new options by rebooting now? (recommended) [Y/n] n

What happened?

Hi, your driver is the only one able to start the monitor mode for ALFA awus036ach. Monitor mode starts, commands like airodump-ng work fine. When trying to use packet injection, nothing works. aireplay-ng --test cannot perform packet injection. Maybe I need to change something in the makefile? Maybe there are other drivers capable of running monitor mode and packet injection?

Hi @ronny34

With this last version of this driver I did not activate monitor mode for several reasons. Realtek's monitor mode is not well done and they do not maintain it in this driver. I thought my time was better spent on a project to help get better support in the kernel.

Last week a new driver was sent to linux-wireless to be included, hopefully, in kernel 6.12. If you want to try this new driver, here is the repo:

https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88

Follow the instructions in the README.

You will need to remove this driver:

sudo sh remove-driver.sh
