Can you link to which GitHub you're talking about when you say many issues about it on GitHub? |
|
There a developer named kvalo has added the firmware support for debian based linux, but unfortunately Kali linux doesn't contains all of those driver packages. Here is your link (GitHub) |
|
It seems that the bug is directly in the Linux kernel firmware images. Monitor mode doesnt work on QCA9377 since this firmware update: The reason why it works on Kali Linux 2018.1 (and also on 2018.2 and 2018.3) is that Kali Linux had firmware-nonfree 20170823-1 in repository until 2018-08-18, when the package was updated to version 20180518-1, which already contains the updated but bugged QCA9337 firmware as I mentioned above. Duplicite of this bug report: Related Debian bug report: |
|
Can't you still see any bugs in Kali Linux 2018.4 yet? |
|
We do not modify the firmware package ourselves, so the upstream (Debian) bug will be the one to watch. One thing that could help, since you have the hardware to test the firmware - is subscribing to the Debian bug and testing the latest firmware from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/ You can clone the repo and then copy the files into the correct place and test that they work. And then report to that bug address (it's as simple as sending an email) that it does or doesn't work for you, so they can update the firmware package. |
|
Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling <= 2018.4), these legacy versions are no longer supported. Please could you see if you are able to replicate this issue with the latest version of Kali Linux - https://www.kali.org/downloads/)? If you are still facing the same problem, feel free to re-open the ticket. If you choose to do this, could you provide more information to the issue you are facing, and also give information about your setup? |
