Hello,
So I bought the Hak5 MK7AC WiFi Adapter, which uses a MediaTek MT7612U chipset. Before I bought it, I checked NetHunter's wifi adapter compatibility on "https://www.kali.org/docs/nethunter/wireless-cards/". The chip MT7612U is listed there.
When I plug the wifi adapter in, I can see it with lsusb.


+-$ sudo lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0e8d:7612 MediaTek Inc. MT7612U 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wireless Adapter
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub


The issue is I cannot see($>ip a) or use the attached wifi adapter. What am I doing wrong?

I am using a OnePlus 5G, if that matters.
