TP-Link TL-WN722N v2/v3 [Realtek RTL8188EUS], you might find this helpful. In the begining, I am able to enter monitor mode. However after a few days, I found out it doesn't allow to enter monitor mode. I think TP-Link TL-WN722N v2/v3 have automatically updated its driver. Then

1. sudo apt update
2. sudo apt upgrade
3. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
4. reboot
5. sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
6. sudo apt install bc
7. sudo apt-get install build-essential
8. sudo apt-get install libelf-dev
9. sudo apt install dkms
10. sudo rmmod r8188eu.ko
11. git clone https://github.com/keralahacker/tp-link-v3-usb
12. cd tp-link-v3-usb
13. sudo -i
14. echo 'blacklist r8188eu'|sudo tee -a '/etc/modprobe.d/realtek.conf'
15. reboot
16. cd tp-link-v3-usb
17. sudo unzip rtl8188eus-tplink-v3-2022-08.zip
18. cd rtl8188eus-tplink-v3-2022-08
19. sudo make && make install
20. cd .. && sudo rm -rf rtl8188eus-tplink-v3-2022-08
21. reboot

Like https://github.com/cccooo/rtl8812au-centos-7.6, forked from aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus and modified for CentOS 7.9 as CentOS Kernel 3.10 contains many code from 4.x

Howto build/install

1. You will need to blacklist another driver in order to use this one.
2. echo 'blacklist r8188eu'|sudo tee -a '/etc/modprobe.d/realtek.conf'
3. Reboot
4. cd rtl8188eus
5. make && sudo make install
6. Reboot in order to blacklist and load the new driver/module.

MONITOR MODE howto

Use these steps to enter monitor mode.

$ sudo airmon-ng check kill
$ sudo airmon-ng start <interface>

Frame injection test may be performed with (after kernel v5.2 scanning is slow, run a scan or simply an airodump-ng first!)

$ aireplay -9 <interface>

Important note:

If after restarting your kali machine doesn't recognise your device.. As lot of people are facing the same problem .. I have a solution for you.. Whenever you restart your kali OS Insert the adapter and run the command

sudo rmmod r8188eu.ko

sudo modprobe 8188eu

Disconnect the device and connect again..
