Review: Excelent tool in my arsenal - I ordered this because it works with Kali Linux and is capable of going into passive listening mode and so much more. It's a great choice on a budget for some security "testing". It performs magnificently when paired with a Yagi antena!
Review: Monitor mode and packet injection supported - Exeptional card. Monitor mode and packet injection supported out of the box. Tested on Kali and Arch with black arch apps and repos configured. Probably I will get another one. If you are looking to "practice" and lear about wireless auditing put your money on this card and forget anything else from Alfa network.
