Hi=2C


I understand you want to fix it in 9.1. The reason that I was using 8.1 is =
that I want to see how injection works there=2C to then somehow clone this =
to a distribution based on 8.1 which does not support injection. But I can =
install 9.1 alongside to test an updated driver in the future for sure.

The hardware is capable of injection=2C listed at the aircrack-ng website a=
s a recommendation etc.

Is it complicated to add ahdemo support?
