Hello Virajarani, 

Good day!

Windows: Monitor mode and package injection are not supported on Intel wireless adapters. This also applies to the promiscuous mode. No public documentation available about this but you may run the following command line that will return what is and is not supported for his wireless card:

- netsh wlan show wirelesscapabilities

Linux: It does support monitor mode but depends on the Linux driver. The command line '# iw list' will return what is and is not supported for his wireless card.

And check the following in the output:

Software interface modes (can always be added):

*AP/VLAN

*monitor

Note. You will have to go and check directly with the WiFi Linux community about setting up monitor mode or package injection.

Let me know if this helps.

Best regards,

JeanetteC.

Hello Virajarani, 

I haven't heard back from you in the past few days. I hope the information I provided regarding your query about the compatibility of the Intel AX211NGW Wi-Fi Module with monitor mode in Windows platform addressed your questions.

For assistance with setting up monitor mode in Linux, please consult the Wi-Fi Linux community directly. I will now close this thread. If you need further assistance in the future, please submit a new question, as this thread will no longer be monitored.

Sincerely,

JeanetteC.
