system lockup on interface deletion/addition about 88x2bu HOT 3 CLOSED

This adapter only works "out of the box" for connecting to AP

I cannot argue with you on this statement. I've been hoping to see a new version of this driver that has a lot of fixes. Monitor mode with this driver is not good.

Any interface manipulation results in lockup

My suggestion to fellow Linux users looking to do work with monitor mode is to go to this repo and find a good adapter that uses in-kernel, standards compliant drivers:

My personal favorite adapters are the ALFA AWUS036ACM (AC1200) and the ALFA AWUS036ACHM (AC600) but there are plenty of others that use in-kernel drivers. There are two BIG advantages to using adapters with in-kernel drivers:

1. The adapters are plug and play in modern Linux distros.
2. They are fully standards compliant. Apps like Aircrack-ng just work. If you want to add an interface. No problem.
