@morrownr commented on GitHub (Aug 2, 2024):

Hi @focabigd

From the README:

Monitor mode is not supported. Linux users that want good support for monitor mode in a dual band or tri-band adapter should seek out USB WiFi adapters based on the mt7610u, mt7612u or mt7921au chipsets.

Your best option for now is to uninstall this driver and install the driver we are working on to be upstreamed to the Linux kernel.

Uninstall this driver:

$ sudo sh remove-driver.sh

Install the new standards compliant driver:

https://github.com/morrownr/8812au-20210820/issues/27

Read and following the instructions in the first message, It is a manual process for installation for now but soon it will be added to the Linux and your adapter will be plug and play.
