Title: Monitor mode with TP Link 725N
Post by: Masterjoa on May 09, 2014, 05:44:12 pm: Hi,

I've just bought a TP Link 725N for Kali linux as a virtual machine.
I installed the r8188eu driver. It works fine, I'm able to browse websites... but when I try airmon-ng start wlan0, I get this:

Code: [Select]
Found 3 processes that could cause trouble. If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them! -e PID Name 8600 NetworkManager 8604 wpa_supplicant 9864 dhclient Process with PID 9864 (dhclient) is running on interface wlan0 Interface Chipset Driver wlan0 Unknown r8188eu (monitor mode enabled)
But the wlan0 is still Mode:Managed (iwconfig) and there is no mon0.

Any Idea ?

git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu
cd rtl8188eu
make all
make install
insmod 8188eu.ko

PS: airmon-ng stop wlan0 doesn't seems to work :(

Post by: misterx on May 14, 2014, 06:39:22 am: I have no idea if it supports monitor mode (it's not a vendor driver but it's not coming from backports/compat-wireless).

Could you attach dmesg?

Here is my dmesg:

Is it able to run with the airmon-ng?
If not, will it be?

Post by: misterx on September 17, 2014, 02:08:43 am: Have you tried running it?
Title: Re: Monitor mode with TP Link 725N
Post by: digaogt on September 19, 2014, 03:38:04 am: Yeah. I've tried it several times, but it has always got the same error saying that it's not able to put on monitor mode.
Is there any patch for the 8188eu driver to fix it?

Post by: misterx on September 20, 2014, 10:34:36 pm: I don't think so.

Post by: Blast3r on October 22, 2014, 12:23:36 pm: I just picked up the Alfa AUS036NHV, and ofcourse, I have the same problem. Before I go to return it (As much as it would pain me), has there been any word recently about a fix for the compatibility issues for the RTL8188eu drivers?

Post by: misterx on September 10, 2015, 01:50:26 am: Have you tried Kali 2.0?
Title: Re: Monitor mode with TP Link 725N
Post by: niCk cAMel on November 11, 2015, 12:06:00 pm: There is a patch for rtl8188eu. It doesn't set the device in monitor_mode. BUT, it will capture wireless frames e.g beacons.
It's a built-in driver, so you'll have to compile the kernel.

Title: How to install drivers of TP Link 725N in Kali linux
Post by: Om Parab on April 17, 2018, 01:19:37 pm: Hie guys I'm stuck in Kali Linux . I want to know how to install tp link wl725n drivers . I have tried a lot of times to install them but the Kali Linux headers are not getting installed n the drivers r not getting compiled . Can anyone help plzz?
Title: Re: Monitor mode with TP Link 725N
Post by: misterx on April 17, 2018, 05:24:07 pm: As mentioned in multiple posts on the Kali forum regarding issues with installing kernel headers, you MUST do:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

then reboot and try to install whatever driver you want to install. Bear in mind that 99% of the time, there is no need to install any driver manually. Especially considering the last time someone posted something here was more than 2.5 years ago.
