#22Just tried with a Raspberry Pi 0 - No luck.
"SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported"
On the roadmap, or is this just a driver issue?

#23That’s pretty sweet. I’m tempted to build some kind of Android UI wrapper for it.

What wifi dongle are you using?

I tried both the built-in wifi and a Realtek dongle
Does the RPi Zero have onboard wifi? ( https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-zero/ )
It sounds like your realtek dongle may not support monitor mode.

#27Awesome! The one thing I’m missing is the current status of the network. It tracks all the networks and the clients, but I can’t see when the network was last seen. So if I’m tracking for 30 minutes, I can’t see if a client or network is still available. Besides that, I love it!
Good point, I may add that. One thing to keep in mind though: you can create a simple plugin to keep as up-to-date on whatever data you care about as you like. Here's a simple example of a plugin: https://github.com/calebmadrigal/trackerjacker/blob/master/p... Note that it's about as simple an interface as possible (e.g. no inheritance).
Thanks! I’ll look into that. I’m not a good programmer, but it looks doable :)

* Panda PAU07 N600 Dual Band (nice, small, 2.4GHz and 5GHz)
* Panda PAU09 N600 Dual Band (higher power, 2.4GHz and 5GHz)
* Alfa AWUS052NH Dual-Band 2x 5dBi (high power, 2.4GHz and 5GHz, large, ugly)
* TP-Link N150 (works well, but not dual band)

Writing a plugin would be a great way to get into programming.
