Hello, I am relatively new to using aircrack and have had minimal success in the past. I recently decided to start using it on my Ubuntu 20.04. The issue is sometimes it works no problem at all, other times I picking up no traffic. I am using a PAU 06 Panda wireless adaptor, the chipset is RT5372. I used this exact device on my Kali linux distro, but remember having to downgrade the kernel. Regardless, my question is why is it working sometimes, and sometimes its not?
Here is the dmesg information.

Question is why is it so unstable? any suggestions, questions or ideas?
Thank you
