is it the "AWUS036NH" you got? Don't think a "AWUS032NH" exists..

anyway, which kernel do you run?

It would be useful to mention the output of airmon-ng so we know what driver it uses.

well, if it's the "AWUS036NH" it uses the rt2800usb chipset and there is a problem with injection introduced with kernel v4.12.

tested this some weeks back and it was working in v4.11, but broken in v4.12. have not tested injection with the newly released/installed v4.13.

anyway, some information from other users on the rt2800usb could be found @

rt2800usb is working inn Kali's kernel v4.13 again, but om kernel v4.12 it's not working (injection), for getting this working again, just install the 4.13 kernel and it should be good to go again.

Closing since it works with linux 4.13 which is currently in kali-rolling.
