FYI Kali live system is also using rt2800usb driver and yet it worked
fine. I'll use rtl8187 driver on Arch soon and see what happens. Regards

Hi everybody
I spent days trying to get my Alfa AWUS036H work with Wireshark on Arch
Linux. It captured all sorts of fancy protocols, but no tcp. I booted Kali
linux on the same PC and followed the same procedure for data capture and
this time everything worked. I could see http requests to multiple wifi
access points nearby.
After some more googleing, I think the problem is with the rt2800usb driver
on arch. I read somewhere that kali comes with a 'modified' wifi driver for
capturing tcp data. I was wondering if its possible to somehow get kali's
driver working on arch? any help would be appreciated!

The Alfa AWUS036H should use rtl8187, not rt2800. Try it, and see.
I remember the Alfa card having issues with Arch a couple of years ago,
but i never got around to reporting the bugs...
