Hi all,
I've been using the Sony UWA-BR100 (AR9280) with ath9k_htc, and there
is clearly a bug with reporting signal strengths which I need to be
correct. I've reported the bug, but this might not be fixed in time
for a deadline I have coming up, and the bug is in the firmware out of
my reach.
So I was wondering if anyone knows of any alternative USB dual-band
wireless cards that support monitoring mode in Linux. I'd _greatly_
appreciate it... doesn't need to be Atheros based.

Hi,
Take a look at Ralink. Most if not all of their chips firmware support
monitor mode. One limitation though is that they are not capable of
reporting the tsf if that is important to you.
V/r,
Daniel

I primarily use AWUS050NH / AWUS051NHs. Dell Wireless 1450 adapters
are also decent (though they probably perform better in 2.4GHz than
5GHz). I'm not really a fan of AR9170 hardware.

Thanks for your suggestions! I ended up grabbing an RaLink RT3572 for
$12 on Amazon with the AE1000:

Not a problem kicking it in to monitoring mode with the rt2x00 driver,
and it is reporting proper signal strengths unlike my ar9280.
Perfect.
