Hey I bought a TP-LINK Archer T4U USB dongle to use with Kali. I believe it has the RTL8812au chipset.

I am running Kali in a vmware. Version:
Code:
root@kali:~# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Kali
Description: Kali GNU/Linux Rolling
Release: kali-rolling
Codename: kali-rolling
root@kali:~# uname -a
Linux kali 4.14.0-kali3-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.14.13-1kali1 (2018-01-25) i686 GNU/Linux
root@kali:~#
I have done the following:
apt-get update
apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
Which appeared to install fine. I rebooted the VM, connected the usb dongle but I still get no interface.
This is the output from dmesg after plugging in the dongle. I cannot find anything regarding this error and it does not mean much to me.
