RTL8192EU(not CU) USB WiFi Card Driver Help
INTRODUCTION:
I am noob tech hobbyist new to Kali Linux and Linux in general.
I am Running a Live USB of 64 Bit Kali GNU Linux 2.0 (GNOME Version 3.14.1 )
My laptop has an internal Intel 7260(rev73) NIC that doesn't support packet injection .
THE PROBLEM:
Having trouble installing drivers for RealTek 8192EU(NOT CU!!) found on a Leoxsys 300N (LEO-NANO300N) Wifi adapter (MIMO in a 2T2R config | Simutaneous Broadcast) .
This is the same Chipset found on a Maxxter ThunderBird ACT WNP-UA005 adapter too.
When I plug my adapter in , nothing happens . like no visual or audible messages of connected USB whatsoever.
"iwconfig" , "ifconfig" and "airmon-ng" do not show anything other than my internal wifi card as 'wlan0'.
"rfkill list" shows nothing as blocked.
So i ran lsusb (The one I have highlighted in Bold is the NIC) :
Code:
root@kali:~# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 8087:07dc Intel Corp.
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 174f:1487 Syntek
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 8564:1000 Transcend Information, Inc. JetFlash
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 0bda:818b Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c058 Logitech, Inc. M115 Mouse
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0eef:a107 D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
So I know the usb card is detected by Linux . I also ran "dmesg" and "dmesg | tail".
I did not know how to read the output or what to look for in it so i will post it if neccessary here on request. the latter command showed nothing to do with the NIC.
From my googling ,
There are numerus forums discussing this chipset in reference to RaspBerryPi and they also seem to have pushed it into their kernel after successful testing.
No information is furnished online however ,I have unearthed loads of information on other language websites (linux netherlands and chinese websites) .
WHAT I'VE TRIED :
I followed this tutorial
https://sites.google.com/site/easyli...set-0bda:818b-
got error :
Code:

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE.
please take the time to go through every link above as i know the solution lies in one of them .
As i am a complete beginner to linux please provide step by step instrusctions i can follow.
Thank you so much again!
NOTE: This solution will helps millions of other and we can also post it in the HOW-TO section .
I have come across numerous people with this problem.
We can work on pushing this driver into the kali kernel.
This thread can also be a reference point for all things related to RTL8192EU Chipset equipped devices.
