Was hoping to get some help getting the external USB WiFi adapter working.
What I've done so far...
1) Installed Kali (2020.2)
2) Installed DKMS through aircrack-ng/rtl8812au on github (running dkms-install.sh)
The WiFi adapter appears in the list when using command 'lsusb', however, it's not appearing when using 'ifconfig' or 'iwconfig' and I cannot see it as an option to connect to any wifi networks.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.
HI,
the driver you can install with
apt-get install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
after reboot the wifi adapter worked on my installation.
the only thing to note - it will not work as the usual way with airmon-ng - to capture packages (Handshake)
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
sudo airmon-ng check kill
sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
than you can work with airodump-ng
however, you wont be able to do the aireplay-ng deauth command
it does not work with dualband wifi - i found no solution yet.
but scanning and capturing is possible on both wifi bands
cheers
Hi!
Try this:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install dkms
sudo apt install build-essential bc libelf-dev linux-headers-`uname -r`
sudo git clone -b v5.6.4.2 https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl*
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
sudo reboot
Hi all,
I'm having the same issue with Kali Linux 2020.3 and Alpha AWUS036ACH - running Kali Linux in Dual Boot with Windows10.
I can see the wireless adapter connected to USB when lsusb, but it doesn't show in ifconfig.
I have reinstalled the drivers and rebooted the system 10x by now, unfortunately nothing helps.
Any suggestions?
That worked for me on KaliLinux 2020.3:

NB: Unplug Your Wi-Fi Adapter while You Doing Below Steps.
? apt remove realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms && apt purge realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms

I have internet connectivity on machine, how do I point the apt command to find the package, or trouble-shoot this problem?

Hi All,
Doesn't work even though it got upgraded to 2020.4. Any other way to get this done?
In 2019.2 a simple apt-get install worked fine for the realtek drivers
Regards
