Hello everyone! New user here i am running Kali 1.0.9 iso on VMware player.
I have purchased a BELKIN N300 wireless network adapter to be able to use airmon-ng.
When i start the VM (kali) it automatically connects the the USB adapter.
ifconfig
Code:
wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr b4:75:0e:22:cd:f4  
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
however when i run airmon-ng nothing shows up
Code:

My next thoughts were that i needed to find and install the driver for RTL8192SU
I went to http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/...Downloads=true to download the driver. I downloaded it and unzip the file. I have already installed the VMware tools and i used
Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic
I then tried
Code:
root@KALI:~/Desktop/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20120405# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
I then went deeper to the driver file and uncompressed the .tgz and then tried
Code:
root@KALI:~/Desktop/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20120405/driver/rtl8712_8188_8191_8192SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20120405# make

At this point im lost I know that the Alfa works well with little issues from all sorts of post but i am trying to work through this for my own knowledge instead of giving up on it. If anyone can help or tell me that i am a retard and why it would be much appreciated.
