Does the TP-LINK TL-WN722N Wi-Fi adapter support monitor mode?

Tl-wn722n is based on rt2800us and does not initially assume a monitoring mode. However, it will work if you do everything according to the instructions.

1. Download the new driver from github, thanks to which monitor mode will work.

   git clone https://github.com/mfruba/kernel.git
   

2. Go to kernel/drivers/TL-WN722N_v2. 0-Ralink/

3. Unpack the usual driver that is in the archive rtl8188eu.tar.gz and install it.

   tar -xvzf archive.tar.gz
   cd lwfinger-rtl8188eu-00b5f0d
   make all
   make install
   

   Make sure that the driver installed in /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/

4. Next, go to the directory with the new driver and install it

   make
   make install
   

5. Installing dependent modules

   modprobe lib80211
   modprobe cfg80211
   

6. Adding the module to the kernel

   insmod 8188eu.ko
   

7. Restarting the OS

   shutdown -r now
   

8. Using ifconfig, we define the interface name

9. And turn on monitor mode

   ifconfig [имя интерфейса] down
   iwconfig [имя интерфейса] mode monitor
   ifconfig [имя интерфейса] up
