I'm trying to capture Wi-Fi (802.11) packets on a 2.4Ghz network with a BeaglePlay board using airodump-ng. I have mostly followed this instruction. The interface was set to monitor mode and was verified with iwconfig.

debian@BeagleBone:~$ iwconfig wlan0mon
wlan0mon  IEEE 802.11  Mode:Monitor  Frequency:2.462 GHz  
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off

I then run sudo airodump-ng wlan0mon, but it doesn't capture any frames.

debian@BeagleBone:~$ sudo airodump-ng wlan0mon

CH  11 ][ Elapsed: 13 mins ][ 2024-07-22 16:22

BSSID              STATION            PWR   Rate    Lost    Frames  Notes  Probes

Does anyone have any advice on this?

EDIT:

The chipset used is the WL1807MODGIMOC I double checked and found this which leads to the conclusion that it's not supported. At the beginning I had the wrong assumption that it does support monitor mode as iw list showed it under the supported interfaces.

debian@BeagleBone:~$ iw list 
... Supported interface modes: 
 * managed 
 * AP 
 * AP/VLAN 
 * monitor

I found a working alternative with the Pi zero w.
