AWUS036H on Samsung ARM Chromebook NOT WORKING
Okay, so I've been troubleshooting this all over the internet for the past couple of hours (or 6), and I just can't get it to work.
I'm on a Samsung ARM Chromebook, running the Chromebook img of Kali.
I have the Alfa AWUS036H Wireless USB, but it just won't work. It seems like the rtl8187 drivers aren't installed, and I can't figure out how to do that.
I've tried to download the compat-wireless drivers, but since I cannot "make" and install the drivers, that solution won't help me out.
Here's some terminal outputs.

So as you can see, the device is recognized, but I cannot initiate it, or see it anywhere.
I've installed wicd, which didn't work either.
Please, can anyone help me out here? I've been trying everything.
Thanks!
