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

I honestly have no idea what is going on here so any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!
