hashcat & hcxdumptool ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE)
#1
Hello all, I installed hashcat and hcxdumptool from Ubuntu 22.04:

$ sudo dpkg -l | grep hashcat
ii  hashcat                                    6.2.5+ds1-2                            amd64        World's fastest and most advanced password recovery utility
ii  hashcat-data                              6.2.5+ds1-2                            all          Data files for hashcat advanced password recovery utility

$ sudo dpkg -l | grep hcxdump
ii  hcxdumptool                                6.2.5-2                                amd64        Small tool to capture packets from wlan devices

However, when I try to run the command:
$ sudo hcxdumptool -i wlan1 -o dumpfile.pcapng --active_beacon --enable_status=15

I get this:
initialization of hcxdumptool 6.2.5...
failed to set monitor mode, ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) not supported by driver: Operation not permitted
warning: failed to init socket

terminating...
1 driver error encountered
failed to restore old SIOCSIWMODE: Operation not permitted

I currently have this adapter:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0bda:8812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8812AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2T2R DB WLAN Adapter

Should I try to download and install from source the latest versions of hashcat and hcxdumptool?
