It seems like I have a fake Alfa AWUS036H with Ralink Chipset.
Anyway, I dont think the problem is related to hardware since Kali
system can capture TCP data with this same adapter.
For future me and others who may be looking for such information,
Kali is using libpcap 1.6.2, aircrack-ng 1:1.2-2-rc2, and wireshark
1.12.6. I managed to install these exact versions on Arch.
So now I have the same versions of wifi driver, airmon-ng, wireshark
and libpcap on both systems but still no TCP on Arch. :|
You could look into if they apply any patches to the driver module,
then build a kernel for yourself adding the same patches.
Solved it after all!
Problem:
Kernel 4.2 onwards have a bug in rt2x00 driver that renders monitor mode
useless because of which I was unable to catch any TCP traffic on Arch
system(kernel 4.3.3).
Solution:
I have never patched a package/driver before so instead of patching the
rt2x00 driver I downgraded my Arch kernel to LTS version (4.1.xx) using
'# pacman -S linux-lts' and then updated the grub config file.
Everything works like a charm now!
Thanks Mr. Eli Cooper for pointing this out to me.
