airodum-ng (and monitor mode ?) not working with latest commit

[solsticedhiver]

I am using the rtl8812au git driver for a while on rpi0 2 w with usb key (0bda:0811), on archlinux arm (armv7h). It was fine.

In fact, I am manually building the driver at each kernel upgrade.
This time, I run git pull before compiling the driver, and once I installed it, then put the card in monitor mode, I couldn't see a thing in airodump-ng.

No AP was detected, and the channel sweeping was very slow. May be it was working but only veeerry slloow?

I just run git checkout 63cf0b4584aa8878b0fe8ab38017f31c319bde3d, and rebuilt the driver.
This time, I got no problem when running airodumg-ng!!?

Thanks for posting this, was pulling my hair out. Can confirm that going back to this commit allowed the driver to work correctly and start detecting APs.

can you help me solve the issue.?
i didn't quite understood the solution to the problem

@nishitaggarwal - The problem is the current commit doesn't appear to work (for some hardware at least).

Going back to an older version of the repo is necessary until the issue is fixed.

I fixed it for myself by:

1. Completely removing all traces of the driver from my system.
2. Cloning the repo.
3. Running git checkout 63cf0b4584aa8878b0fe8ab38017f31c319bde3d
4. Installing as normal.

Had the same problem. Your solution helped. Thank you.

Had same problems with Ubuntu 22.04, 5.15.0-119-generic #129-Ubuntu, i.e. airodump shows no BSSIDs. The 63cf0b4584aa8878b0fe8ab38017f31c319bde3d commit works.
