Hello,
Did a successful installation of Kali Linux armhf on my samsung s4 , I was wondering how to upgrade to the latest kernel build 3.12 in order to use and external wifi card (rtl8187) since with the shipped kernel the drivers aren't loaded by default. Looks like apt-get install Linux-source works but how to continue , every time I reboot it's falling back to the 3.4.8
An other way to use load the rtl8187 drivers ?
Used Linux-deploy either with armel or armhf image, the phone is a samsung galaxy s4 i9505
Thanks in advice
Did find a procedure to upgrade the kernel by following kali documentation at
http://docs.kali.org/development/recompiling-the-kali-linux-kernel
everything went well but at this step:
update-grub2 i realized that grub2 is missing on armhf image
did
apt-get install grub grub2 but without success package aren't there
here the steps i did to find grub
root@localhost:~# apt-cache search grub2
grub-imageboot - boot iso, harddisk and floppy images with grub2 and syslinux memdisk
grub2-splashimages - a collection of great GRUB2 splashimages
root@localhost:~# apt-get install grub2-splashimage
