# Supports
* Android 7
* MESH Support
* Monitor mode
* Frame injection
* Up to kernel v5.8+
... And a bunch of various wifi chipsets

# 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. `make && sudo make install`
4. 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 ip link set <interface> down
$ sudo iw dev <interface> set type monitor
```
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>
```

# NetworkManager configuration
Add these lines below to "NetworkManager.conf" and ADD YOUR ADAPTER MAC below [keyfile]
This will make the Network-Manager ignore the device, and therefore don't cause problems.
```
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

[ifupdown]
managed=false

[connection]
wifi.powersave=0

[main]
plugins=keyfile

[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=mac:A7:A7:A7:A7:A7
```
