test result of TL-WN821N V6

[msx752]

@ZeeRooo
after adding rtl8xxxu driver to blacklist and installing RTL8192EU driver, wifi connection is successful on Linux version 4.15.0-29-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-057) (gcc version 7.3.0 (Ubuntu 7.3.0-16ubuntu3)) #31-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 17 15:39:52 UTC 2018 (Ubuntu 4.15.0-29.31-generic 4.15.18)

extra informations:

1. driver name and chipset nameis not shown on airmon-ng i dont know why, only shows ?????? on driver name (i dont know whether this device support monitor-mode or promiscuous mode)

2. if i do reset the NetworkManager, i have to reboot the linux for using wifi device otherwise it is not working

[ZeeRooo]

1- I will check the driver for monitor support (i think it's compatible).
2- I have experienced the same issue running this driver and kernel drivers for other wlan cards. I think it's a Linux issue (or NetworkManager). My solution is restart the module (sudo modprobe -r 8192eu ; sudo modprobe 8192eu). (tested on Arch 4.18 and Ubuntu 4.15)

[msx752]

wifix@ubuntu:~$ sudo airmon-ng start wlan0

Found 5 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'

ERROR adding monitor mode interface: command failed: Operation not supported (-95)

@ZeeRooo here is my result but i think it is related with software issue.

According to driver description

1. For TL-WN821N V6/TL-WN822N V5/TL-WN823N V3.
2. For Linux kernel 2.6.24 ~ 4.9.60.
3. Support monitor mode on ubuntu and mint.
4. This is a beta version; unknown bugs may still exist. The formal version is coming soon.

[ZeeRooo]

As they said, it's beta. The only thing i did was fix build errors related to kernel headers. To be honest i never tryied monitor mode. I'll try to fix the issue in my free time :)

@msx752 @ZeeRooo

Hi there guys! I forked it and started working on it, I'll go through the code and fix monitor mode and adding frame injection to it along with lots of other fixes 👍

[msx752]

@kimocoder thanks, i will check asap.

[kimocoder]

Added support for monitor mode AND frame injection while added TX queue support for monitor mode and reworked some of the regdom, adding more channels and 80 MHz support.

It lays in the pull requests for those interested.

@kimocoder I just compiled with gcc 7.3.0 and tested on ubuntu 18.04 (Linux 4.15.0-45-generic). Now, using TP-Link TL-WN821N(US) V6I can connect to 2.4 GHz network, can't connect to 5 GHz. Is there anything I can do to connect to 5GHz?

Thanks a lot.
