First off - thanks for the quick reply.
There are a few scenarios:
1) after running airmon-ng start wlan1 (post check kill) the terminal freezes and nothing happens
- iwconfig on another terminal also produces nothing.
Sometimes if I then disconnect the Alfa, the terminal unlocks and I can try again when reconnecting
The Alfa - either three things happens now
a) the OS freezes and nothing but a reboot (hard power reset) works
b) airmon-ng does the same (wash rinse repeat)
c) it starts monitor mode
Then, if I get past that scenario 2
airodump-ng shows nothing but the first load screens and then same as 'a' and 'b' in scenario 1
Also, sometimes the terminal output shows nothing but accepts commands
Once and only once it got to show the actual monitoring
Randomly later the OS hung
I have checked the partition size (28gb off of the 32gb class 10 sd card)
I have checked CPU temp (37c), memory usage is low as well.
I don't see blinking red lights or anything indicating low power.
I have just reflashed to the 32bit version to see if that makes any difference.
Also a powered USB hub arrives tomorrow, but as the card is meant to be Pi certified I really hope
I don't need it - makes portability hard.
Anything I can try/test to see why it is hanging? 64bit OS or power or something else?
