I bought an ASRock USB WiFi dongle from HAK5 recently. I'm using on my XPS13 running Ubuntu 17.04.
When I plug it in and do an ifconfig it returns as wlx002522508b5d
If I then try and pit it in monitor mode using
sudo airmon-ng start wlx002522508b5d
The device then vanishes from the ifconfig list and I get
phy0 wlan0 wl Broadcom Limited BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)
phy6 wlx002522508b5d rt2800usb Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070
Interface 15mon is too long for linux so it will be renamed to the old style (wlan#) name.
