Wireless adapter not being used by Kali

So here's the rundown;

When I first installed Kali on my Macbook, I did not have a wireless adapter to use, however it did use the wireless card already installed.
It's interface was wlan0 and uses a b43 driver and the chipset as specified by 'arimon-ng' is non-mac80211 device.

I then installed the appropriate driver to use --

Code:

---

apt-get install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms

---

and plugged in my adapter -- Realtek RTL8812AU 2.4 & 5 Ghz USB Wireless Adapter

Nothing changed, there was no new interface and my old wlan0 interface still had the same configurations.

Code:

---

lsusb

---

shows that the device has been properly inserted.

My kernel is 4.18.0-kali2-amd64

What should I do to fix this issue? I've searched everywhere online and haven't found a working solution.

Current kernel is 4.19. apt update && apt dist-upgrade then reboot.

regarding that lsusb command, you don't show the actual output.

What is the output of 'lsusb' and 'airmon-ng'?

Before you plug the adapter, clear dmesg (dmesg -c) then plug it and run 'dmesg' then show the output of this last dmesg here.

Did the updates, everything works fine now. Thanks
