    Upgradet latest kernel armhf/armel 3.12 on a samsung s4

    Hello,

    Did a successful installation of Kali Linux armhf on my samsung s4 , I was wondering how to upgrade to the latest kernel build 3.12 in order to use and external wifi card (rtl8187) since with the shipped kernel the drivers aren't loaded by default. Looks like apt-get install Linux-source works but how to continue , every time I reboot it's falling back to the 3.4.8

    An other way to use load the rtl8187 drivers ?

    Used Linux-deploy either with armel or armhf image, the phone is a samsung galaxy s4 i9505

    Thanks in advice

    Did find a procedure to upgrade the kernel by following kali documentation at

    http://docs.kali.org/development/rec...i-linux-kernel

    everything went well but at this step:

    update-grub2 i realized that grub2 is missing on armhf image

    did

    apt-get install grub grub2 but without success package aren't there

    here the steps i did to find grub

    root@localhost:~# apt-cache search grub2
    grub-imageboot - boot iso, harddisk and floppy images with grub2 and syslinux memdisk
    grub2-splashimages - a collection of great GRUB2 splashimages
    root@localhost:~# apt-get install grub2-splashimage

    Hi!

    I think the apt-get have no such Packages.Try another software source.

    If you still unable to locate package,you can download the software source code, compile it yourself.
