Hey Igor, I totally get it - just thought that someone might have/heard of a better driver for the r8723bs chip. I saw that there were several projects geared at a proper driver for the chip like https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs and there is a great deal of hackability for this board if I can get the wifi/BT chip to play nice with some of the security software I use. Cheers.

So after installing the Armbian distro with hope that I can get monitor mode enabled on the built-in wireless card, it doesn't seem to be working. Both the aircrack-ng software or iw cannot seem to put the driver into monitor mode even though it shows as being a supported mode: mlinton@tinkerboard:~$ iw phy0 info Wiphy phy0 max # scan SSIDs: 9 max scan IEs length: 2304 bytes Retry short limit: 7 Retry long limit: 4 Coverage class: 0 (up to 0m) Supported Ciphers: * WEP40 (00-0f-ac:1) * WEP104 (00-0f-ac:5) * TKIP (00-0f-ac:2) * CCMP (00-0f-ac:4) * CMAC (00-0f-ac:6) Available Antennas: TX 0 RX 0 Supported interface modes: * IBSS * managed * AP * monitor Anyone had luck putting the driver into monitor mode?
