hcxdumptool poor injection ratio

Code:

Adapters

--------------

Driver must support (mandatory) ioctl() system calls, monitor mode and full packet injection.

NETLINK (libnl) is not supported (asynchronous).

Manufacturers do change chipsets without changing model numbers. Sometimes they add (v)ersion or (rev)vision.

Prefered chipsets MediaTek and Ralink because stock kernel drivers are well maintained, ioctl() system call support, monitor mode and full frame injection out of the box.  

This list is for information purposes only and should not be regarded as a binding presentation of the products:

* ID 148f:7601 Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter

* ID 148f:761a Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7610U ("Archer T2U" 2.4G+5G WLAN Adapter

* ID 0e8d:7612 MediaTek Inc. MT7612U 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wireless Adapter

* ID 0b05:17d1 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. AC51 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wireless Adapter [Mediatek MT7610U]

* ID 7392:7710 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd Edimax Wi-Fi

* ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter

* ID 148f:5370 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5370 Wireless Adapter

* ID 148f:5572 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5572 Wireless Adapter



Always verify the actual chipset with 'lsusb' and/or 'lspci'!

Due to a bug in xhci subsystem other devices may not work at the moment: <br /> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202541

No support for a third party driver which is not part of the official kernel (https://www.kernel.org/) <br /> Report related issues to the site, from which you downloaded the driver

No support for a driver which doesn't support ioctl() system calls and monitor and full frame injection, native <br /> If you need this features, do a request on www.kernel.org



Not recommended WiFi chipsets due to driver problems:

* Broadcom (neither monitor mode nor frame injection)

* Intel PRO/Wireless (several driver issues and NETLINK dependency)

* Realtek (driver chaos - some drivers working, some not, monitor mode and frame injection mostly only on third party drivers, often no ioctl() system call support, NETLINK dependency)

* Atheros (some driver problems on older kernels)
