Attempting to diagnose and figure out what would be the root cause; just submitting a ticket in case you guys haven't run across this error before. I didn't see it mentioned in any other open issues. Current git clone of repository. I've seen this happen with two different cards now. Currently only testing Open AP configuration in hostapd-mana. Testing at home in a residential district that is well saturated with APs and clients. Could it potentially be a saturation problem where the card/my computer cannot handle the overhead of dealing with all traffic?

Error seems to be random in regards to timing. Typically though it'll be after several minutes of running and hostapd-mana doesn't outright crash it still tries to operate normally but the errors continue. I'm also running a basic config file, just like the ones we were using for class at Blackhat.

Interesting to note I do not see the same issue when using berate_ap to spin up an Open AP.

  • @singe and @cablethief This card by far the best I've used for passive reconnaissance in recent years. If you haven't had an opportunity to play around with one I'd recommend checking it out. I get far better results across all tools I use (bettercap, wifite, wash, fluxion, aircrack-ng suite, etc)

Panda PAU09 ( I know it says 08 on the wiki hardware but the link redirected to 09; so I just made the assumption that it would work equally as well)

I included a screenshot.

That is interesting that berate changes something that fixes the issue, I will try look into this when I have time
