To add information about kcdtv posts, any driver that has "sta" in its name will be crap -> no monitor mode since vendor driver.

[lopt]

Thank You for the helpfull information.
I ordered this aswell: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B002SZEOLG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is just pity that there semms not to be a AC usb stick with a compatible driver

[misterx]

There is one, but it's not atheros and its driver is crappy now.

The RTL 8812AU seems to be at least fair for my needs:

I got the driver from here:

8812au driver from Realtek - Engenius ac1200 adapters for 2x2:2 802.11ac with USB
https://github.com/astsam/rtl8812au

This may or may not be the one noted as less than optimal in a previous comment, so perhaps it is not all that good.  There are complaints, but I don't know how relevant to the intended use.       

You can always get one of these https://www.alftel.com/pages/product-airbud and then have multiple miniPCIe slots for Intel/Atheros/etc. chipsets to try...

i have the same problems with my one too
any advance on the issue?

a lot of us need to make work our chipsets atheros with aircrack-ng
will be wonderfull

please any nice soul can help?

[misterx]

No and there most likely won't be any fix, part of it because wireless developers are giving up due to having firmware crashes (wireless card crashing) that can only be recovered (if they can) after a reboot. That make developing a driver pretty much useless.

So, the bottom line is to swap the card for another atheros (QCA9xxx or ath9k) or use a compatible card.

[susanita]

ok thanks anyway

Tested "firmware-6.bin" from : https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0

Only thing i noticied is device recovering by itself when firmware crash :

[ 1395.974921] ath10k_pci 0000:3e:00.0: firmware crashed! (uuid [...])
[...]
[ 1395.979354] ath10k_pci 0000:3e:00.0: firmware register dump:

[ 1398.360664] ath10k_pci 0000:3e:00.0: device successfully recovered

Also had to rename firmwmare-6.bin to firmware-5.bin because it is looking for firmware-X.bin (X between 2 and 5)

So :
Monitor still doesn't work
Firmware still crash when connected to 802.11ac AP, but it now recover without a reboot
Latency is stil going over 100ms every 120sec

[Poinpoin]

Hi everyone, I'm encountering this problem too, I'm wondering if it would be possible to use the ath9k driver instead of the ath10k for the Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 network adapter. And if, how ? I'm not really a noob on linux, but I'm not comfortable enough to know how to do it.

I'm really embarrassed with this issue, and I don't want to buy an external adapter.

[misterx]

You can't just use another driver because one isn't working. A driver is meant for a specific set of cards and there are no 2 drivers (in the kernel) that can handle the same card.

[Dakeryas]

Dear all,

I have just created an account to say that even when using the 4.12 kernel from the Ubuntu mainline, on a Ubuntu 17.04 machine (the default kernel was 4.10), the QCA6174 card is not able to see any access points.

As a result, I have replaced the Killer WiFi card from my Dell XPS 15 9560 with an Intel 8265NGW, and I confirm that this new card sees access points and has allowed me to capture handshakes. It fails the injection test, however (but that is not a show-stopper).

[virgosun]

same here QCA61x4 stock kernel 4.10. Wifi ok, airodump-ng nothing

[virgosun]

Great news
This latest official firmware solve monitor mode (no injection though)
Just download and install http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_1.170_all.deb

[virgosun]

Someone please confirm strange behavior Managed mode and Monitor mode at the sane time?
airmon-ng start wlp2s0
airodump-ng
capture ok
Still surfing web at the same time?
In fact I am typing this and reply till the dump is running?
