Monitor mode with TP Link 725N
« 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 ?

Where did you get the driver from?

I did this: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?18831-Complied-driver-for-TL-WN725N-v2-on-3-6-11-cut-1-PREEMPT

Quote
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 :(

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?

I have the same issue with my wn-723N / Realtek driver 8188eu.
Here is my dmesg:
[   10.536504] vboxsf: Successfully loaded version 4.3.14 (interface 0x00010004)

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

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?

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?

root@kali:~/rtl8188eu# airmon-ng check kill
Killing these processes:

  PID Name

root@kali:~/rtl8188eu# airmon-ng

null   wlan0      r8188eu      Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
root@kali:~/rtl8188eu# airmon-ng start wlan0
No interfering processes found
PHY   Interface   Driver      Chipset

null   wlan0      r8188eu      Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

I killed the processes and i did everything on what u guys came up with on this post.

RTL8188eu doesnt support monitor mode/ packet injection. Is there a patch for it?

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.
