New Alfa awus036ach help

[undersc0re]

I tried installing the drivers for the awus036ach as well and am having issues, it works great on my windows10 though. My problem seems basic but I can not get it to install drivers properly. The system can see it as Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8812AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN Adapter. This is usb kali with persistence.
I get the following errors I have tried the instruction to install drivers for this on the kali website blog page talking about this adaptor. (apt-get update and then apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms)
Just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction!

Hey undersc0re

It looks like "kernel headers for this kernel does not seem to be installed." You should install kernel headers.

apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Yes I tried that with this result. I might have messed up something along the way in my desperation to get something to work lol. I am not sure why it looks for those old packages, does not seem right to me. Why it trys the 4.6 I have NO idea heh, i fully updated and sources list is good....I hate to have to redo my persistence stick all over again with a new weekly image or at least the latest image because of something that seems simple...I can not tell where it tells it to look for 4.6 when it should be 4.9 I assume. Even manually installed latest linux-header and linux-image...just trys looking for 4.6 and uname shows 4.6 heh, my persistence stick must be the issue, I think its time forma redo

apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Grabbed the latest weekly image and did up a new persistence stick and it works great now!

Guys!
I have been trying with the drivers from the new branch from astsam .
And everything is going more smoothly both in managed and monitor mode.
The drivers are not the one in the dkms package, you have to install them from Git Hub repository.

If you don't know how to use git hub, steps would be:
1) install git

sudo apt install git

2) download branch 5.1.5 from astsam repository

git clone -b v5.1.5 https://github.com/astsam/rtl8812au.git

3) locate your shell in the branch

cd rtl8812au

4) Complie

make

5) install

sudo make install

Before doing that make sure:
1) if you installed previously a driver from git hub, you have to erase any previous module 8112au.ko
It is located in an actualized system in

/lib/modules/4.9.0-kali4-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/

If you have a module for rtl812au there, erase it

sudo rm -r /lib/modules/4.9.0-kali4-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8812au.ko

and unload the module in case it is active

sudo modprobe -r 8812au.ko

.
2) If you installed the driver with the dkms package provided by Offensive security simply use aptitude to remove it and maybe restart your computer to avoid any troubles installing version 5.1.5

sudo apt autoremove  realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms && sudo systemctl reboot

You will see that with this new drivers airdoump-ng windows populate much more quickly; really at full speed.
Try them, They really worth it!
Do feedback: if they work better for you too i will reopen the bugtrack ticket to ask for upgrading the dkms package from 4.3.21 to 5.1.5

[QUOTE=kcdtv;

method worked for me i am using the netgear a6100 but of course they possess the 8812au chipset, i cant set monitor mode with airmon-ng i have to set it manually in terminal, but it is working again tx mode is only 12 setting freq to 5G works as well. injection doesnt seem too good and kind of takes longer to connect back to wifi than 4.3.21 after setting mode back to managed and service network-manager start but overall it does work.
