Edimax AC1200 (EW07822UAC) does not show up on ifconfig

[Dotastalker]

Hey guys,

so I've been struggling with this for the last couple of days and do not know what to do.

I've tried other Linux images, somewhat successful but I really want my USB device to work on Kali Linux 2.0

Things I have done.

1)Updated sources.list
2)Installed headers
3)Successfully 'Make' and 'Make Install' on this driver - https://github.com/csssuf/rtl8812au

but still get "The connection for the USB device 'Edimax 802.11n NIC' was unsuccessful. Driver error"

The device does show on lsusb but not ifconfig.

I am running Kali Linux 2.0 installed on VMware Workstation 12 Player.

Let me know if you need anything.

Hope someone can help.

Well, as I often say, will your wireless card work on a non-VM install? I've often had trouble getting wireless to work inside a VM, so I usually avoid it. Anything weird in dmesg?
