I would not recommend switching to another unless there's a specific reason. As far as I know the current configuration/upstream works fine with USB RTL cards. See: https://github.com/paralin/buildroot/commit/af8d30846e71e378fdcdb632bbbbfe0aaf7bb669 Just out of curiosity I made a patch switching to the aircrack fork, but there were some errors at the install step, for example: depmod: WARNING: /target/lib/modules/4.14.180/extra/88XXau.ko needs unknown symbol cfg80211_unlink_bss depmod: WARNING: /target/lib/modules/4.14.180/extra/88XXau.ko needs unknown symbol ieee80211 Even though the CFG80211 options are enabled in the kernel, and the build passes with the old fork. Maybe there are some path issues going on there. Looks like the aircrack fork may have better support for packet injection? Best, Christian
