Trying to figure out how to use apt-get or aptitude to download the kernel headers for Nethunter so I can build a driver for my usb, WUSB6300. My device uses the rtl8812 driver, I have successfully built the driver for Kali, yet whenever I aptitude -r install linux-headers-$(uname -r) from a Kali rootfs shell or VNC session I get a linux-headers-3.4.95-furnace-1.3.6 error saying no package with that name found.

Drivers have to be built for Android kernel so updating linux-headers will not work. If you are interested in building kernels, then you could use this repository: https://github.com/binkybear/furnace_kernel_lge_hammerhead. It's a bit of learning though if you've never made a kernel before.

Kernel Headers files must be built by hand. After compile kernel you must do:
user@yourcomputer:~/YOUR_KERNEL_SOURCE#make headers_install CROSS_COMPILE=$path-your-cross-compiler ARCH=arm SUBARCH=arm INSTALL_HDR_PATH=$local-folder/
after adb push $local-folder/include/* into /data/local/kali-armhf/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/include/

Because kernel has load/unload modules support, perhaps you can buit it as module. ok

perhaps you could have problems with SELinux.
Try photonicgeek kernel for you phone
You need to reinstall busybox and supersu and nethunter
You might need to ad a sysbolic link to your nethunter setup.
ls -s /system/etc/firmware /etc/firmware
and bring wlan1 up (as super user (su command in terminal) in the android terminal not kali terminal).
Reboot phone and start nethunter should then work.
