rtl 8192cu chipset unknown

[jake4954]

Hi, I am using a TP LINK TW822N wireless network adapter in Kali Linux run though a VMWARE on Mac OSX Yosemite.

Kali does not display the chipset and I think it is due to the driver not being installed properly/at all???

When I type airmon-ng
I receive the following:

Interface Chipset Driver

wlan0 Unknown rtl8192cu - [phy0]


I have downloaded and tried to install the driver from the realtek website but receive this error every time i follow the instructions:

I am not too sure what to do and have been researching this for hours on end trying different methods. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Try airmon-zc, you should see that it shows the proper Driver and chipset. Not sure why airmon-ng does not. I also spent an inordinate amount of time trying to fix this. Must be an aircrack-ng issue. I understand airmon-zc will be part of aircrack-ng ver. 1.3. hope this helps.

Thank you! it works, however when I go onto using airodump-ng I find myself with another problem, it lists the bssid as "not associated"...im guessing its because my chipset doesn't show on airmon-ng ?

Yeah, welcome to the world of the Alfa AWUS036NHR. After using, correction, trying to use this device I've concluded that it just sucks. Period.

Even when/if you do get it to work and you grab what should be a valid handshake, check it with wireshark or cowpatty and you'll more than likely find it to be NG.

I just recently moved on to the AWUS036NH and it works well. Works as advertised.

Grabbed a handshake within seconds and crack it within seconds, lesson learned, moving on with life.

Sorry I can't help further...
