The error has gone. But I have a big problem with the drivers on the adapter. My TP-Link Archer T4U AC1300 V3 adapter (RTL88x2BU), but to my great regret I can not find a driver in which the River would work. I tried different drivers on different systems that I found here (RTL88x2BU). The card is transferred to the monitoring mode only by the command - sudo iw dev wlan0 set type monitor. I will be very grateful if someone advises a suitable driver for my card or looks at the drivers I tried for the river. I am very frustrated by the fact that manufacturers do not want to support the Linux system and have to ask for help and simple programmers on this site.

Drivers that I used for the river.

response from the river (apparently, the packets are being sent, but the answer is not received and the problem is not exactly in the signal level, because I tried for more than two dozen points and in different systems (ubuntu and kali). I tried various options -A and so on. d.

@kcdtv the issue is showing itself most newer Realtek releases it seems.
btw, take a look at rtl8812au v5.6.4 (8814 and 8821 not supported yet), but this driver works really good, finally!

Also, take a look at https://lwn.net/Articles/768372/
Finally, their moving over to mac80211, I bet i could get use of that release when it's finished.

Unfortunately, the driver proposed by you did not fit. The device is not detected.

First don't forget to run the command with "root privileges" (use sudo in debian based systems)
If you have the required privileges, run airodump-ng for one second, stop it , then run wash.
It should work
