This driver looks like doesn't support "monitor" mode, does any one known about this ? about rtl8812au HOT 11 OPEN

https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au supports monitor mode + injection

from rtl8812au.

I've managed to get monitor mode working for an ALFA AC1200 running RTL8812au using https://github.com/Grawp/rtl8812au_rtl8821au on Kali Linux.

It is supported but the rtl8812au driver doesn't communicate well with tools like iw, as they use nl80211, take a look at this repo https://github.com/jekader/hostapd-rtl, it adds support for this type of RealTek driver to hostapd which I'm assuming you are ultimately looking to use.

Hi AaronMcHale
when I run "airmon start enp0s29u1u8 " I got this error, got any idea with this ?

[root@localhost neil.yang]# airmon-ng start enp0s29u1u8
Found 5 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!

ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) - expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211,
ARPHRD_IEEE80211_FULL or ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM instead. Make
sure RFMON is enabled: run 'airmon-ng start enp0s29u1u8 <#>'
Sysfs injection support was not found either.

Monitor mode is supported in 4.3.22 version of driver.

from rtl8812au.

If you're looking for monitor mode support that will compile on Ubuntu/LM, this version will get you what you want without updating kernel or gcc as required by other drivers that support monitor mode.

hey amadeuspzs,
when i tried to install the driver it always gives me some errors.. I am using Kali linux on a virtual machine and i tried to install several drivers but most of them seem to get me errors. The first one I installed worked but this version doesn't support the monitor mode ..
Can you tell me what i am doing wrong?
