for context: I’m using Intel Wireless 7265 for wifi card, but the network is using ethernet
I am using https://github.com/seemoo-lab/owl and https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop. I use owl -i wlp2s0 -N(because without -N, ERROR: Error while receiving via netlink: Operation not supported), then opendrop recive. doesn't work, opendrop find doesn't work as well. although I can see when i click airdrop on macbook, it will add peer on owl's log

Look at this: seemoo-lab/owl#9
It might be that your wireless card doesn't support active monitor mode, which is needed by owl as in the README of https://github.com/seemoo-lab/owl .

Requirements
Wi-Fi card with active monitor mode. To use OWL, you will need a Wi-Fi card supporting active monitor mode with frame injection.

That's why OWL throws an error without the -N. With -N, OWL doesn't throw an error, but simply doesn't work. OWL needs monitor mode to create the awdl0 interface, because Apple devices don't do AirDrop over WLAN, do they?
