Hi,
It is working well when i try to connect any Wi-Fi. But when i type ifconfig, there is nothing about any wireless interface. Also i cannot use monitor mode it causes the freeze computer.
What should i do?
Thanks in advance.
Hi @lemonade3 we need some more details about your setup:
For example output of following commands
uname -a
modinfo 8182euAlso, how do you enter monitor mode?
Which other (network) services are you running? (NetworkManger etc.)
Which distribution?
About monitor mode
Hi @masterzorag,

And that is what i do when i enter monitor mode:
ifconfig wlan0 down iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor ifconfig wlan0 up
But when i type (ifconfig wlan0 up), it freezes.
I didn't download or install any other service. Only NetworkManager.
And I am using Kali Linux.
Thank you..
@lemonade3 have you looked at link from my previous comment about monitor mode?
Yes i did @masterzorag,
But still it didn't work.
Also i tried to enter mode with
aircrack-ng start wlan0
The result is:
Found 3 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 run 'airmon-ng check kill'

Newly created monitor mode interface wlan0mon is *NOT* in monitor mode.
Removing non-monitor wlan0mon interface...
WARNING: unable to start monitor mode, please run "airmon-ng check kill"
I don't know why doesn't work.
Also like link you sent. I had downloaded rtl8xxxu before. The monitor mode was working well with it. But the signal was very very low. With this driver i can connect internet but monitor mode is not working..
Just retested Monitor Mode 💎

Hi,
Tried here:
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0 up

well, seems you run a recent kernel, 5.2.0-3-amd64 1 Debian 5.2.17-1
as you can see, this version of driver is tested on linux 4.x, so for linux 5.x more patches will be needed to port
in your case kernel crashes, something has to be fixed
if you can, retry with an older kernel version
It's exactly the same with 4.19.0-6-amd64 (4.19.67-2)
Please sirs did you find the solution on how to get rtl8192eu chipset to enter monitor mode?
Hi,
It is working well when i try to connect any Wi-Fi. But when i type ifconfig, there is nothing about any wireless interface. Also i cannot use monitor mode it causes the freeze computer.
What should i do?
Thanks in advance.
hey,
Have you tried sudo ifconfig instead?
