More troubles with OnePlus1

Ok, so LineageOS 20190101, and NetHunter Image for 2019.04 updated to latest via 'apt-get full-upgrade'.

I can't seem to get external wifi cards to work, via a 3-way usb splitter. OPO does charge when plugged into the splitter when splitter is connected to power.

I am noticing the following:

• In both Kali Chroot, and in AndroidSU terminals, typing 'lsmod' shows no modules, only a header line. 'cat /proc/modules' yields no output - it's a 0 byte file.
• 'lsusb' likewise gives no output.
• In the Kali Nethunter app, if I go to services, and enable y-adapter service, it appears to stay on, but if I go to another section, and then back to services, the service is off, even though I never turned it off.
• I am unable to install Realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms package via apt-get install, due to missing kernel headers.
• I can't figure out a working solution to install kernel headers. I've tried, but unable to satisfy dependancies.
• Typing 'dmesg' shows lots of access- and permission- denied messages

Just for kicks, I'm going to try a USB Flash drive with the y-adapter, and see what happens.

I'll be in touch.

Update: Flash drive doesn’t appear to work or be visible in file explorer while on the 3-way Y-adapter. Works fine with an OTG adapter.
