    Trouble installing Ausu 802.11ac USB-AC56 on Macbook Pro VMware Kali Linux

    Hello all,

    Having trouble using my USB-AC56 wireless card on my VMware Kali. My Macbook Pro see the device as a 802.11n mic card and VMware tools can only forward the interface as an ethernet port. Luckily Vmware tools can also forward the USB-AC56 as a USB device but i'm still having trouble installing the drivers. Various 'file not found' 'access denied' 'no privileges' errors keep prompting. being a noobie to linux in general doesn't help either. I've spent a good chunk of time trying to get this working. Can anyone recommend my next route of troubleshooting? Is what i want to d possible?

    Thanks in advance!

    I ended up downloading a different version of Kali VM and updated the OS. The install.sh got past the authentication error but errors came a few lines later:
