Does anyone happen to have a guide on how to get the right driver loaded with this Alfa AWUS051NH V2 wireless card If I'm mistaken I read that their are 2 chipset versions which is why the wireless card possibly doesn't work.
airodump-ng wlan1 finds networks but doesn't appear to do packet injection I assume that's a driver issue is their a fix for this that anyone is aware of?
It should be pre-installed. I have the same card:

I don't know of another chipset to use. Maybe someone else will be able to answer that. Is this installed in Virtual box or Vmware by chance?

Nope this was a live USB booting setup.
I also have some issues with the Alfa AWUS051NH v2. A few days ago I purchased this card to learn more about WPA hacking. I have some issues with 2 laptops and a desktop. Here are my findings:
- Laptop 1: Injection with Alfa card is NOT working. I installed Kali 2.0 (kali-linux-2016.1-amd64.iso) on local SSD. Injection with on-board wifi nic is working fine. Laptop is a Lenovo X61s.
- Laptop 2: Injection with Alfa card is NOT working. I booted with live cd Kali 2.0 (kali-linux-2016.1-amd64.iso). Injection with on-board wifi nic is working fine. Laptop is a HP Compaq 2230s
- Desktop with downloaded Kali VM: Injection with Alfa card IS working. I downloaded the Kali VMware VM image (Kali-Linux-2016.1-vm-amd64.7z) and played it with VMWare player 6.0.7.
- Desktop with VM and live Kali cd: Injection with Alfa card is NOT working. I booted a VM with live cd Kali 2.0 (kali-linux-2016.1-amd64.iso).
- Laptop 2 with downloaded Kali VM: Injection with Alfa card IS working. I downloaded the Kali VMware VM image (Kali-Linux-2016.1-vm-amd64.7z) and played it with VMWare player 6.0.7.
So in my case only the Kali VM image is working fine with the Alfa card, and installs or live cds don't work for me. In all cases I see the same driver installation:

I'm no expert on Linux... what can I do next to figure this out? I want to have the Kali card working on my laptop with Kali installed as a OS (not as a VM, because the laptop is not very fast).

I noticed the wireless card doesn't appear to pick up 5Ghz networks either for some reason I know the wireless card should be able to find 5ghz networks but it's only finding 2.4Ghz which leads me to believe this is a driver issue...
likely if the user above is able to get the wireless card to work in a Kali VM image then it's possible that VM might have a correct wireless card.
Nope this was a live USB booting setup.
Did you run:
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
After you installed the system by chance?

You need to run:
airodump-ng wlan1mon --band abg
To get 5G to show up.

When ever I run "apt-get dist-upgrade" there is some error that cause my kali to not be able to boot onto gui. Any ideas?

Are you running it on bare metal, usb, or virtually?

What does this command tell you:
airmon-ng
Are you running it on bare metal, usb, or virtually?
Im running on usb, and i got it working. I had to reinstall gedit for some reason. Anyways I did that, but my AWUS051NH v2 still cant inject :(
is it the driver?

It maybe the driver. Make sure you've updated and upgraded but don't reboot. Try configuring it then.

How would I go about configuring them?

I took a shot in the dark on that one. I've never tried connecting a kali usb and any wireless adapters.
So, did you get the Alfa to inject?
I have one with RT3572, which I guess is the newer one (I think V2 came with 2 different chips)...
Also, the first Alfa I got claiming to be AWUS051NH V2 (it had correct labels and the hologram) was actually AWUS036H on the inside. That was odd.
Can anyone confirm by any chance that they tested RT3572 chip in the 5GHz band with injection, and it worked?
It seems to work fine in the 2GHz band. But, I can not find any evidence online (and from experimenting with it for a while) that injection worked with that chip in 5GHz band. There are people saying that it worked, but do not show any results of their injection tests.
Thank you.

I have Version 2 and can't captures handshakes with it on a raspberry pi. (2ghz network)
didnyou install manually a new driver for the rt3572 chip? it works in. onitor mode but doens't capture the handshake.

well guys.. there is recently a patch available for aircrack-ng fixing 5Ghz issues.
take a look @ https://github.com/kimocoder/aircrack-ng/commit/8199c04357ea05daaf2de2ae7eebb28d30baef87
