Subject: RTL8191Su don't switch monitor!

    Dear !



        RTL8191Su worked on ArchLinux, linux 5.2.0



        Normal use of connecting wifi is no problem. But I want to switch it to promiscuous mode, can't switch.
I want to ask if there will be an update to solve this problem?


        My English is not good, so please be sorry for the impoliteness.
                                                                        


                                                                                           Thank you!

You are missing a lot of information.

What is the USB ID of the device? Use the command lsusb to get it.

What driver are you using?

Many of the Realtek drivers have not implemented promiscuous mode. To my
knowledge, there are no plans to add this mode to these drivers.
