The question gives rise to endless debates and discussions based not on knowledge, but on opinions. To get an answer, rephrase your question so that it can be given an unambiguously correct answer, or delete the question altogether. If the question can be reformulated according to the rules set out in the certificate , edit it .

    tl-wn722n is based on rt2800us and does not initially imply a monitoring mode. However, it will work if everything is done according to the instructions .

    1. We are downloading a new driver from the github, thanks to which monitor mode will work.

      git clone https://github.com/mfruba/kernel.git

    2. Go to kernel / drivers / TL-WN722N_v2.0-Ralink /

    3. Unpack the usual driver that is in the archive rtl8188eu.tar.gz and install it.

       tar -xvzf archive.tar.gz cd lwfinger-rtl8188eu-00b5f0d make all make install

      Make sure the driver is installed in / lib / firmware / rtlwifi /

    4. Next, go to the directory with the new driver and install it

       make make install

    5. Install dependent modules

       modprobe lib80211 modprobe cfg80211

    6. Add a module to the kernel

       insmod 8188eu.ko

    7. Restart OS

       shutdown -r now

    8. Use ifconfig to determine the name of the interface.

    9. And turn on monitor mode

       ifconfig [имя интерфейса] down iwconfig [имя интерфейса] mode monitor ifconfig [имя интерфейса] up
    • Thank you, could you answer another question, what is better to buy for Kalino Linux, TP-LINK TL-WN722N or TP-LINK TL-WN821N? It's just that there is always a risk that the instruction will not work, so can an adapter be purchased where is this feature supported? - Log1c0
    • @ Log1c0 see the power output. quite old but good articles: xakep.ru/2016/09/27/wardriving-devices losst.ru/luchshie-wifi-adaptery-dlya-kali-linux-2017 . I also saw somewhere that wn812n does not accept a handshake and does not have monitoring - goodmice
    • I do everything according to the instructions, but the make [1] error pops up: *** /lib/modules/4.15.0-kali2-amd64/build: No such file or directory. Stop What to do? - Log1c0
    • @ Log1c0 if you are not able to figure it out for yourself, then it is better to ask a new question in which to attach the full output of the installation - goodmice

      @vp_arth thank) Next time I will try to display instructions, in addition to the link) - goodmice
