-z old hashcat separator * (also used by JtR)
-k new hashcat separator :
hashcat accept both, because it has a build in fallback to the old format.
The new one is used in potfile and outfile by hashcat.
Some tests (hcxdumptool -i interface --do_rcascan + 10 dBi panel antenna):

Unfortunately some other devices are not working (any longer) due to a kernel issue (not fixed, yet):

BTW:
Only TP-Link TL-WN722N v1 is working like expected

A panel is a good choice (TP-Link TL-ANT2414A and TL-ANT2409A working fine).
