Hey,
I connected external WiFI adapter to my Xperia Z3, and it doesn't work. Any idea how to make device recognise/connect to the adapter?....

By my understanding of that Android is technicaly based on Linux kernel, you would need a kernel module for taht WiFi dongle or kernel that Supports it (Driver compiled in kernel)...

I want to use reaver, Z3's WiFi doesn't support monitor mode.....

And is this even possible with rooted phone, while keeping locked bootloader?...

In theory yes. You would need kernel module driver compiled for that kernel you are running. Drivers in Linux can be compiled in the kernel or provided as module. So grab source code compile as module and insert module (insmod) from terminal...

Helo Friends

I have the latest KaliLinux + Nethunter installed on Sony Xperia Z3 RooT / Boot unlocked MM 6.0.1 - 23.5.A.1.291 ((Kernel: 3.4.0-perf-gc14c2d5)) according to this instruction:

http://www.hackcave.net/2017/05/install-kali-nethunter-on-any-android-device.html

everything works :) terminal, SSH, VNC, etc., but the network card
TP-LINK TL-WN722N does not want to wake up: (((

in the Kali Terminal, the "lsusb" command shows the adapter connected to the OTG cable with power supply:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0cf3: 9271 Atheros Comuni ..... AR9271


, but the green light on the usb wi-fi card does not shine :(

Here I have a question: does my kernel support the modules needed to support external wifi ???

what's the kernel under my system ???

My English is Google Translator I wrote matter-of-fact .............
Thank you very much for any advice :)
