    Question make KLIB=/lib/modules/3.1.7/ - Backports 20140221 release

    Hello everyone , i have been looking for a way to get thru this issue , but i had no success .
    Alfa AWUS036NHR have a very low power wifi by default , and "iwconfig wlan0 txpower 30" does not work with this chipset (RTL8188RU) .
    so , i want to try the new backports drivers from 2014 with a reg.c edition , to set card at 33dbm by default .

    When i execute "make" i get this :
    /--------------
    | Your kernel headers are incomplete/not installed.
    | Please install kernel headers, including a .config
    | file or use the KLIB/KLIB_BUILD make variables to
    | set the kernel to build against, e.g.
    | make KLIB=/lib/modules/3.1.7/
    | to compile/install for the installed kernel 3.1.7
    | (that isn't currently running.)
    \--
    make[1]: *** [modules] Error 1
    make: *** [default] Error 2
    so ... after this i tryed :
    apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
    but the result is this :

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    build-essential is already the newest version.
    linux-headers-3.12-kali1-686-pae is already the newest version.

    it looks that this could be a difficult issue .
    anyway , i am taking the risk to compile the kernel to 1.14 version manually without waiting for the repository update .
    i will post the results after i finish the installation .

    after testing and testing i realize that it was an error i made that did this .
    i wanted to install new backports version without uninstalling the last one .
    The solution was ,
    -i get in the directory of the installed backports
    - did "make uninstall"

    after that i was already able to install the latest version .

    Note : i think i got a false alfa awus36NHR , no matter the driver i install or patch that the power is always the same .
    my pen TL-WN721N have more power that this awus36NHR .

    anyway , i was looking on the net and i found this baby for those who wants wifi power :
    http://www.crotalus.es/crotalus-max-usb-n-2000mw/
    bad luck is that dont sell them anymore .

    i will buy this one to see how it works :

    these wifi cards are made in spain , and as far as i saw on the net , everyone is satisfied with them regarding injection with aircrack .
