Summary	0000701: alfa wifi card AWUS036H can NOT catch handshake
Description	i have purchased alfa network card with rtl8187l chipset. i can use networking but when trying to use aircrack-ng suite, i am not able to catch wpa-handshake. it seems that it is missing it.
Steps To Reproduce	1) airmon-ng start wlan1 - works no problems 2) airodump-ng mon0 - same here 3) airodump-ng -c 1 --bssid 00:11:22:33:44:55 -w file mon0 is monitoring but it is jammed sometimes, meaning that it takes a lot of time to show if there are clients on network( while on with card it shows them within seconds) 4) aireplay-ng -0 5 -a 192.168.2.1 -c 192.168.2.100 mon0 - seems to work, yet i don't see target to be interrupted or stop. i have tried countless time to see what seems to be the problem but there is nothing in logs.
Additional Information	i have tested it with ra2800 chipset of the same company and works perfectly and faster. in addition i have found some forum pages, where are claiming that they are having the same problem, yet no one have notified for some unknown reason. i have asked on forum and in several other communities about solution, yet no-one have suggested any-kind of idea or reason why this might be happening. <link> https://forums.kali.org/archive/index.php/t-519.html </link>
