So, I just found out it was a layer 8 issue. I was connected to my wifi network with device wlan0 and tried sniffing with device wlan1. Obviously, the specific wifi device has to be connected to the network. Surprisingly, even after several reinstallations of bettercap, drivers, and dependencies it still works šŸ„³ ---

Hey, I also just started with this combination and not that much linux experience. It gets better after some trials and several errors šŸ˜ . I document everything I do here (primarily for myself, but it might be helpful to you as well): [My uConsole journey Ā· GitHub](https://gist.github.com/MichaelMarkert/1d9252a840e503a6d50f61b5c9e7aa21) . ---

Thatā€™s exactly the problem. Iā€™ll add a little if statement in there that it the config.txt isnā€™t in /boot/firmware/ then to look a level up. ---

You could extract the packages and manually install them the edit the config.txt as needed. Tonight Iā€™ll fix the packages the make changes to the config.txt to check for the older location if the new one is missing. ---

You can go ahead and try and install the package again with recommends and it should work for the config being at /boot/config.txt instead of /boot/firmware/config.txt ---

- External WiFi antenna already set in config.txt. It seems the Pi4 onboard wifi can now use monitor mode! Fresh install of your latest Kali image (on my second uConsole) Did sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade. When I run sudo wifite, it fails to switch to monitor mode. I assume I have to edit the config, but what exactly? Thanks for any help! ---

Eternal wifi means the u.fl connector is enabled and the PCB antenna is disabled. Monitor mode is not supported out the box there is a patch you can add to enable it though for the CM4. ---

Thank you for the fast response! Aha, so no need to edit config. What command should I run to install the patch? ---

Sorry. I should have been clearer. Any plans on implementing this Nexmon firmware for monitor mode on the CM5? I cant for the life of me figure out how to install that given the instructions on nexmonā€™s github. ---

That would be awesome! Iā€™m very new to all of this. Just put together the uconsole yesterday and set up a Pi 5 for watching youtube and do torrents on the TV like a month ago. Took me almost 2 weeks to fully utilize the 4TB NVME I put in there. Now ordered some books to gain a more fundamental insight into linux and itā€™s possible uses. Also, waiting for some other stuff Iā€™ve ordered, this is quite fascinating for me. ---

Hi, I try Kali 6.12.34 image on my uconsole. When i issue ā€œsudo apt update for the first time i get error messages about repository [http.re4son-kernel.com](http://http.re4son-kernel.com), that is has no longer a release file and also 404 not found messages. Seems that the site is down or was hacked ? Is it normal or what can i do about this ?
