LightMoon opened this issue · comments
Hi!
I am facing a strange issue with AWUS036ACHM - Chipset MT7610U on Kali Linux raspberry Pi 5.
The card stops working and throwing ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX) failed: No such device error if you run Aireplay-ng while having Airodump-ng running.
Error on shown on airodump-ng
read failed: Network is down
Interface wlan1mon:
ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX) failed: No such device
Can't reopen wlan1mon
Error on shown on aireplay-ng
NB: this attack is more effective when targeting
a connected wireless client (-c <client's mac>).

Good to note, I did ran airmon-ng check kill prior to eliminate processes interference, also replaced the driver to the latest, however, none has stopped the issue.
uname -a Linux kali-raspberry-pi5 6.1.64-v8+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Dec 3 11:34:54 UTC 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux It seems the issue is related to arm CPUs as it can be reproduced on latest Raspbian OS; although the card on Kali (Intel) works fine.
I am not sure but if someone could confirm this issue could be related to bug - https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217465 would be great. Any tips in getting the card to usable stage will be appreciated.
Hi @LightMoon
Can I get you to repost this issue in Issues at the Main Menu:
https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi
This repo is specific to adapters with the 88x2bu chipset but the Issues at the Main Menu is general and many users of Mediatek based adapters stop by there.
Also, if you can provide the specific steps you are using so that we can try to reproduce the problem, that would be great. I have an ACHM, RasPi and many others do also.
@morrownr, yeah I am fully aware you have one :) Your review and the shortlist are the reasons why I bought the card. The card performance is also top-notch on Kali Intel.
The issue should have been opened in USB-WiF in the first place! I guess I had too many tabs opened and mistakenly created the issue here. feel free to delete it to avoid being duplicated.
