[1] My recommendation for those looking to buy an adapater for AP mode
or Monitor mode is to buy adapters based on the following chipsets:
mt7612u, mt7610u, rtl8812au and rtl8811au. To ask questions, go to
[USB-WiFi](https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi) and post in
`Discussions` or `Issues`.
[1] Overall this driver does a good job with AP mode. During testing and
work prior to making this driver available, the team working on this
driver noticed some problems in AP mode if used with a Raspberry Pi 4B.
We were unable to discover or fix the exact cause of the problem but
the workaround is to keep the driver in USB2 mode. This workaround only
applies to AP mode with Raspberry Pi 4B. No problems were noted with
systems that use x86 or amd64 processors.

[2] Work to improve monitor mode is ongoing with this driver. Your
reports of success or failure are needed. If you have yet to buy an
adapter to use with monitor mode, there are adapters available that are
known to work very well with monitor mode. My recommendation for those
looking to buy an adapater for Monitor mode is to buy adapters based on
the following chipsets: mt7612u, mt7610u, rtl8812au and rtl8811au. My
specific recommendations for adapters in order of preference are:
ALFA AWUS036ACHM - long range - in-kernel driver
ALFA AWUS036ACM - in-kernel driver
ALFA AWUS036ACH - long range - [driver](https://github.com/morrownr/8812au-20210629)
ALFA AWUS036ACS - [driver](https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708)
