Review: Windows great. Linux greater. - Works amazing with windows. Did not even register on kali Linux. UPDATE: upgrading to 5 stars b/c on linux I had to install the drivers for it to work. Once I did, it picked up even better on linux. Amazing! 5 stars.

A: yes it does support monitor and packet injection, as it is a Realtek RTL8811AU chipset, you might have to install the specific drivers in some linux distro's
