Describe the bug

I'm trying to debug if this is an issue with my system or the current state of affairs. When running probequest I do not get any output even after an hour of operation.

To Reproduce

Set wifi device to monitor mode via iwconfig.
wlp8s0 IEEE 802.11 Mode:Monitor Tx-Power=-2147483648 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on
run probequest as root
sudo probequest wlp8s0

Expected behaviour

I expect to see sniffed probe requests.

Execution environment

Please complete the following information:

  • OS: Ubuntu 20.04
  • Python version: 3.11.4
  • ProbeQuest version: 0.8.0
  • Method of installation: pip

Additional context

Wireless device: Intel AX200
Wireless driver: iwlwifi

I've tried several other wifi probe request sniffer tools, wireshark, probemon, sniff-probes, WifiListProbeRequests, wuds. None of them output anything. My assumptions at this point are:

  1. My hardware is not suitable for actually monitoring probe requests.
  2. None of my wifi devices are emitting probe requests.

I've been testing with my samsung galaxy S10 by toggling wifi, attempting to connect to a hidden wifi network, and forgetting any local networks.

This appears to be an issue with my NIC, I found a USB dongle and the same setup and procedure work to sniff probe requests with it.
