For this I would be in the AirCrack forums. There are some folk that flame when told to buy that when they have this. That is they are mad at everyone there may not be a software or firmware patch.
Item 5 sounds wishful in a way. Why not have two interfaces, one for each chore?

Hi everyone,
Hope I could find my answer in here.
I'm using Kali linux distribution on a regular PC with wired interface (eth0) and USB ports.
Lately, I tried to use my alfa card (awus036nh), using eth0 as my internet access and USB to my ALFA card as my AP. I used airbase-ng and airmon-n in gbridge mode, but it failed. I read about this and found out some problems with the ALFA cards and handling layer two Control frames.
Anyway, I'm looking for your advice in buying an appropriate new card with the following features:
1. supported by Kali linux
2. works with airbase-ng, airmon-ng, aircrack-ng (soft AP).
3. can be used as fake AP (enables configuration of SSID and BSSID)
4. handling Control Frame (in layer 2) -> Very important since its not being cared by software (airbase-ng).
5. enables simultaneously AP and monitoring mode - scanning for wireless networks/devices during functioning as AP.
6. preference for USB adapter (not critic)
Best regards,
