 Which card to purchase is a hard question to answer.  Each person's criteria is somewhat different, such as one may require 802.11ax capability, or may require it to work via virtualization.  However, having said that, then the following cards are considered the best in class: Which card to purchase is a hard question to answer.  Each person's criteria is somewhat different, such as one may require 802.11ax capability, or may require it to work via virtualization.  However, having said that, then the following cards are considered the best in class:
 +
 +  * Alfa AWUS036AXML (a/b/g/n/ac/ax, WiFi 6E) is the best performing card, with a stable driver
 +  * Alfa AWUS036AXM (a/b/g/n/ac/ax, WiFi 6E) has been reported as a bit less sensitive than the AWUS036AXML

   * Alfa AWUS036ACH (a/b/g/n/ac) is the best performing card, but the driver can be unstable enough to crash your kernel   * Alfa AWUS036ACH (a/b/g/n/ac) is the best performing card, but the driver can be unstable enough to crash your kernel
   * Alfa AWUS036ACM (a/b/g/n/ac) is the highest performing of the STABLE devices, but it requires kernel 4.19.5 or higher, and the driver doesn't work on the Raspberry Pi 3 yet; it works on the Raspberry Pi 4.   * Alfa AWUS036ACM (a/b/g/n/ac) is the highest performing of the STABLE devices, but it requires kernel 4.19.5 or higher, and the driver doesn't work on the Raspberry Pi 3 yet; it works on the Raspberry Pi 4.

 +===== My driver doesn't work anymore, or it does something weird, how to debug? =====
 +
 +We are assuming it used to work in the past, and that you have checked that network managers were killed prior to putting the card in monitor mode.
 +
 +The next step would be to look into 'dmesg' to see if the driver outputs any error or warnings. 
 +If the card is USB, clearing it using 'dmesg -c' before plugging the adapter may help, by decreasing the amount of messages you have to go through.
 +
 +===== Does Aircrack-ng suite work with WSL or WSL2? =====
 +
 +No.
