You're missing a "dev".I hear what you're saying, and yes, the man page says you should have a 'dev' in there,but that doesn't make any difference"
That's interesting. If I run it without that "dev", it just gives me an error and the help text.
Where to look next ? I started this journey with a variety of web pages such as this one: https://www.hackster.io/thatiotguy/enable-monitor-mode-in-tp-link-tl-wn722n-v2-v3-128fc6
It looks to me like they used an alternate driver to make that work.
I'm not wedded to this USB adapter, I'd like to know which one would actually workin monitor mode, out of the box, with Fedora supplied drivers.
It works with the Intel Centrino adapter in my laptop and also with the two USB ones I tried. One was a really old Airlink 101 and the other was a tiny, cheap one that I got online with some Realtek chip that uses the rtl8192cu driver. The Airlink I couldn't switch to monitor mode inside wireshark, I had to set it from the command line before for some reason, but the others could be turned on by wireshark.
Try using your built-in wifi adapter.

When you open the capture options dialog, you might need to scroll to
the right to see the monitor checkbox.
Nope, I tried sending a screen shot, but the mailing list is holding my
message for moderation.
If you grabbed the whole screen, it was probably too big. I've attached a shot of just the area.
There is a column in the table entitled Monitor Mode, but it's filled in with dashes.
Just checking, is your user in the wireshark group? Do you even see your network adapters in the list?
