Driver for 802.11ac USB Adapter with chipset: RTL88x2BU / RTL88x2CU
supports at least managed (i.e. client) and monitor mode.
This driver is based on Realtek's rtw88 driver in Linux main trunk.
A few known wireless cards that use this driver include
$ make clean
$ makeLoad driver for test:
$ sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/rtw88
$ sudo cp fw/rtw8822* /lib/firmware/rtw88/
$ sudo insmod rtw88.ko
$ sudo insmod rtwusb.koLoad driver at boot:
$ sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/rtw88
$ sudo cp fw/rtw8822* /lib/firmware/rtw88/
$ sudo mkdir /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88
$ sudo cp rtw88.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88
$ sudo cp rtwusb.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw88
$ sudo depmod -a
$ sudo echo -e "rtw88\nrtwusb" > /etc/modules-load.d/rtwusb.conf
$ sudo systemctl start systemd-modules-loadScan:
$ sudo iw wlanX scanConnect to the AP without security:
$ sudo iw wlanX connect <AP name>$ sudo ip link set wlanX down
$ sudo iw dev wlanX set type monitor
$ sudo rfkill unblock all
$ sudo ip link set wlanX upThen you can use "iw info" to check if the wireless mode is correct.
e.g.
wlan1 IEEE 802.11 Mode:Monitor ... And you can use the program like wireshark to sniffer wifi packets.
- set up the sniffer channel
$ sudo iw dev wlanX set channel xxx- run the program
$ sudo wiresharktest ok with general commands with the latest kernel ubuntu 18 + kernel v5.3 test with Network Manager ok.
- None atm. Need to checkpatch and clean some code only.
