I want to turn on monitor mode on Sony Xperia z5.

  • The exact model: E6653
  • PCI ID: 14e4:43ec
  • Chipset: BCM4356
  • Device is rooted.

I don't really know if this model with those specifications support monitoring mode, and there is really confusing information in google, add inexperience into that and its a boom ...

So I did read that devices with that pci id are fullmac and like 90% of those are hardware controlled for functionalities like monitoring mode, while softmac pci devices are controlled by softwares and 90 % of them do support monitor mode. Also did read that my pci is fullmac so the chance to not support monitoring mode is low, but there was forums that said it is supporting it, and the confusion became bigger.

So the questions are:

  • Does my device with those specs support monitor mode ?
  • If yes, which driver should i download
  • If no, could you please give me alternatives for devices that do support it and are cheaper.

I am really gratefull for any help ! Thanks !!!
