***** TP-Link (moan!)

Dang them (TP-Link).

Used their TL-WN722N for some time as it was Atheros based.

Just had to buy a new one and it turns out a) it's Realtek based and b) likely doesn't have monitor capabilities.

Of course they don't warn anyone, do they??? Grumble.

Am sure you've seen or are generally aware of: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WN722N though having to check every mundane item you reorder is a bit nuts.

I have to confess to laziness Ouss...I ordered it 'cos it's a variant I've used in the past more than once and I knew would (Ha!) work out of the box.

Part of the problem is running it under pwnix/nethunter which is a variant of Kali on phones. I couldn't be bothered with trying to get the right driver compiled as it doesn't support monitor/promiscious mode anyway now from what I can see which I need for pentesting.

I take responsibility at the end of the day - I know better than to take such things for granted.
