WiFi NIC for Monitoring

[nightmare-wolf]

How can i add a Wifi NIC for monitoring?
I entered nmtui and edited my wireless interface with the wifi and credentials
I then added the wireless interface with so-monitor-add and i see the wireless interface is bonded but eth1 is in green while the wireless interface is not.

The wireless interface does not show a "device" and it is showing as ethernet instead of wireless. How can i effectively add the wireless interface to monitor wireless traffic?

I'd recommend tapping or mirroring the traffic before you get to the AP if you can (using the wireless interface as mgmt, and a separate interface for sniffing), as opposed to trying to use a wireless interface for sniffing. We don't really recommend or support the use of wireless interfaces in this manner.

Even though it is not supported, is there a possibility for me to do it? Possibly running a tcpdump through the wireless interface in promiscuous mode. While creating pcaps and forwarding the pcaps off to zeek for parsing?
Or installing other wifi sniffing tools that would do the wireless sniffing whilst creating the pcaps and forwarding to zeek?
