Description
Wi-Fi PCAP Capture is a utility for capturing raw 802.11 frames (“Monitor mode”, or sometimes referred to as “Promiscuous mode”).
Wi-Fi PCAP Capture uses an external USB RTL8187 Wi-Fi card and does not require a custom ROM or root privileges.
You will need a device running Android 4 or newer (for USB host support), a working USB host mode implementation (some manufacturers do not have a working implementation), a USB OTG cable or USB host port (some tablet devices offer standard USB ports, other devices and phones will require a compatible USB OTG adapter cable), and a RTL8187 (802.11b/g) based wireless NIC, such as the Alfa One.
Currently other wireless chipsets are not supported, though hopefully in the future they will be. Capture from the internal wireless device is not possible at this time.

Supporting adapter issue Does it support TP-Link TL-WN722N USB wireless adapter..
★★★★★
Frabjous joy abounding Works very well with a Moto X Play L5.1.1 when hooked up as described with a hub. Used a cheap HK/eBay usb 3 hub with one port connected with a Male "A" / Male "A" cable to a power dongle. The AWUS036H in another port, and the hub connected by an OTG cable to the phone. Worked straight off. Without the hub I got a "USB connection not allowed" notification.
★★★★★
Is a great app that works for what it promises. I think a lot of negative reviews were due in part to either counterfeit network cards (especially the alfa variety), or funky phone OTG behavior. Some features I'd like to see would be valid handshake capture alerts, and an option to only capture handshake packets. Overall and extremely useful and functional app that works perfectly with my AWUS036H Alfa card.
★★☆☆☆
I will ratting 5 star If this app work in usb wifi card RTL8188CUS WLAN Wifi LF-D16 wireless protocol IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11n. Please answer
★★☆☆☆
It takes a while before the Samsung Note 10+ will see the device, but it does see and recognize the RTL8187. The scan runs, but always results in 0 logged packets. The devloper says they plan to add a lot more adapters, but 8 years later nothing has ever been done or added to this app. They abandonned it and need to correct their website which falsely advertises that they plan to add support for more devices. Their false claim shows Kismet is run by liars that can not be trusted.
★★☆☆☆
Cannot get it to connect on any device. Have tried multiple phones, nexus 9, nexus 10. All of them say No USB device present despite OTG detectors saying it should work.
★★☆☆☆
No USB NIC What's with this no USB NIC plugged in. How do you make this thing work anyway?
