Pinephone pro packet injection for internal wifi chipset

[Kevin Kofler]

Hello. Does anyone knows how to enable packet injection or monitor mode for internal wifi chipset of pinephone pro? OS is kali linux with Phosh.

To my knowledge, this is not possible on the PinePhone Pro. It would require the firmware to support the two modes, which it doesn't and no released firmware does.

So do you know how to solve that problem?

What Kali Linux recommends you to do is to attach a supported (check the list first before you buy!) USB C WiFi dongle and to use that one. (And by "supported", I mean that it needs to supports monitor mode under GNU/Linux. Not every WiFi chipset that works in principle also works for monitor mode!)

I do not think there is any other solution. The kernel driver for the internal WiFi is Free Software, but the firmware that runs on the WiFi chip is not, and it does not support monitor mode, so the driver cannot support it.
