VoCore2 Lite Monitor Mode
Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2017 8:17 pm
Hi. Has anyone had success setting VoCore2 Lite in monitor mode for wireless packet capture?
airmon-ng reports that chipset is Ralink 2560 PCI rt2500.
aircrack compatibility tables says that "The entire rt2x00 family: rt2400pci, rt2500pci, rt2500usb, rt2800pci and rt2800usb can inject and monitor. Including PCI and USB chips on b/g/n".

Seems like it should work. If I try to start capture on airmon-ng, it will say "monitor mode enabled" but iwconfig reports that it is still in "Managed" mode.
Not an expert on chipsets and drivers, but maybe it is related to missing nl80211?
System is Linux OpenWrt 3.18.29 #32 Sat Dec 24 22:01:05 CST 2016 mips GNU/Linux with VoCore firmware from 20161224.
Thanks.
