How to Setup Alfa AWUS036ACH RTL8812AU on Kali Linux 2019.4?

[sibipaul]

Hello,

I'm New to Kali Linux and This Forum...

Recently I've Installed Kali Linux 2019.4 in a Local Machine.

This the Only OS in that PC - A Clean Installation.

I've been using My Alfa AWUS036ACHwith Win 7.

But, Unable to use in Kali Linux.

I tried some threads from this forum, but nothing worked for me.

When I RUN

lsusb

I can see this result

Also Check this Command

Kindly, Provide me the correct steps to make it work.

Thank You So Much.

Try watching this and following along carefully, this video is probably one of the newest and more detailed tutorials for what you want, good luck!

Or just search David Bombal in the youtube and look through his newer videos.

Thank you for sharing these details. Using the proper repo to get the drivers must be from the aircrack-ng repo. Well done!

I used

./dkms-install.sh

instead of make && make install.

Also made sure to install headers and bc for building and compiling the driver:

apt install bc linux-headers-$(uname -r)

5.3.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.3.9-3kali1 (2019-11-20) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Recently I've Installed Kali Linux 2019.4 in a Local Machine.

I've been using My Alfa AWUS036ACHwith Win 7.
.

I had the same issue, Kali 2020.4 was running on VM on my w10 PC.

After fist feeling really stupid...and laughing at myself realizing that Zonealarm on my w10 box was actually treating files during the download process.

I disabled any and all firewalls, malware and antivirus.

Then the following as mentioned in a previous post;

? apt remove realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms && apt purge realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
? apt update && apt upgrade
? apt autoremove && apt autoclean
? reboot
? apt-get dist-upgrade
? reboot


? git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au
? cd rtl8812au
? make && make install

? poweroff

That did it for me. Hope this helps.

For those of you that are more experienced and disagree with my findings, please tell me, I'm no expert.
