hcxdumptool poor injection ratio

[ZerBea]

Both devices mentioned above are high TX power devices, but they are powered down (20dBm instead of possible 30dBm) by wireless regulatory domain:

Code:

$ iw reg get
global
country DE: DFS-ETSI
    (2400 - 2483 @ 40), (N/A, 20), (N/A)
    (5150 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 23), (N/A), NO-OUTDOOR, AUTO-BW
    (5250 - 5350 @ 80), (N/A, 20), (0 ms), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS, AUTO-BW
    (5470 - 5725 @ 160), (N/A, 26), (0 ms), DFS
    (5725 - 5875 @ 80), (N/A, 13), (N/A)
    (5945 - 6425 @ 160), (N/A, 23), (N/A), NO-OUTDOOR
    (57000 - 66000 @ 2160), (N/A, 40), (N/A)

Also the the channels and the operation modes are limited by the regulatory domain to prevent to jam weather RADAR.

hcxdumptool and hcylabtool respect this (crda) settings:

Code:

$ hcxdumptool -I

TX power on ch 14 is set to 0, because using this channel is not allowed in the EU:
2484MHz 14 ( 0 dBm)

Also you should know that the RTL8812AU driver is not(!) part of the Linux kernel:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ker...k?h=v6.1.5
It is a third party driver from here:
https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au
You can follow the problems here:
https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/issues
I know the maintainer and he really is doing his best on this driver, but unfortunately he is too busy to work on it constantly.
