ALFA AWUS036H (RTL8187) on Raspberry Pi not functioning
I have an ALFA AWUS036H USB WiFi adapter (which uses the RTL8187 chipset) and a Raspberry Pi running Kali Linux 1.0.5. My problem is that I just can't seem to get them to play nice. So here is what I've done so far:
Code:
# iwconfig
wlan0 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr b8:27:eb:a7:4c:30

I honestly have no idea what is going on here so any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
Raspberry Pi 2 and ALFA AWUS036 ... Still no support
It is has been over 3 years now and the maker of Kali Linux still hasn't provide appropriate support for either the Raspberry Pi or ALFA chip set! The Raspberry Pi is one of the most popular devices to run Kali Linux and the same ALFA wireless cards. It almost like Microsoft not providing support Logitech or HP! I shouldn't have to looking for patches or addition support to get Kali Linux to work.
