Works great with Kali Linux in monitor mode
Don't be fooled when someone says this does not work with Kali, it does work and in Monitor mode. The issue is the drivers are not built into Kali. You have to compile them yourself. Make sure to look for this set 'morrownr/8821au-20210708'. That works perfectly.

This card is exactly what I needed in order to access nearby 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz channels while remaining discreet and not looking like a sketch weirdo with the huge wifi card plugged into my laptop.
This card is not plug and play for linux but all you have to do is install new realtek drivers and as you can see in my screenshots it works like a charm.. I live in an apartment building with 18 units and the card picked up about 25 SSIDs.
You can install the new drivers for debian linux (kali/parrot) with this command or something similar depending on your distro:
apt-get install -y realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
Card was plug and play for windows 10.
It comes with a CD that contains Mac and Windows PCs as well as a USB extension cable and adapter to get increased cord length (see photo), which would be perfect if you wanted to be able to mount the adapter some where higher up, or to in your vechicle for war driving.
Speeds were decent. About 128 mps down / 12 mps up -- (See screen shot)
Range is not the best with the stock atenna but for a tiny $16 dollar card it is better than expected. The atenna is also detachable so I will be trying a long range antenna on it as well and that will probably help out quite a bit.
To get anything else like this you will likely be paying twice as much on other less reliable brands.
I can see why Alfa is the go-to brand for penetration testers, hackers, and network administrators.
8/10 would reccommend for anyone that needs a wifi adapter on a budget, especially someone who wants to do discreet close-mid range pen testing using linux.
Linux users need to DL/install new realtek drivers. Monitor mode works like a champ!

I am using with Parrot Security which is a linux distro similar to Kali Linux and needed a wifi adapter that would work for monitor mode and packet injection for penetration testing.Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2019
