Fast forward to now I no longer have that machine but do have the Pinebook Pro. Upon plugging in the USB it freezes the p64 to the point it wont work unless I unplug the card and reboot machine. Anyone with experience with this type of stuff kindly share what they used and if it worked or if the same thing happened to them? I tried finding specs on power consumption for the card assuming it draws to much power but to no avail.
I currently have a Alfa Atheros AR9271 USB WiFi adapter, and it works great with both Manjaro and Kali on the PBP. Both identify it without issue when connected while running or on boot. I've only tested it from the "right side" USB port on the PBP, though.
Adapter itself works great with various WiFi pentest tools such as Wireshark, Kismet, Wifite, Aircrack-NG, etc… from both Blackarch Repos (on Manjaro) or Kali.
