Env is ARMBIAN 5.31 stable Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 3.4.113-sun8i

 

When I run Kismet on this system (which creates a new interface in Monitor mode - wlan0mon), the original WiFi interface loses any connections, and will no longer function properly.  Is this a expected behavior?  Is there any way to get both monitor and normal mode to co-exist?  I've looked around and don't see any obvious driver updates that would address this.  Any suggestions (beyond adding a second WiFi adapter)?

 

 

I doubt. You will need to look into the driver code and debug or find a better driver, which probably does not exist.  

 

Our mission is to bring wireless to normal client/host operation and if that works, we are happy. This is hard enough, sometimes nightmare (Opi Zero).
