New to kali and rtl8188cus problems

[Latenight]

Hi,

I wanted to give kali a try bought a new sd card, put the image on the sd and tryed some tutorials and everytime problems over problems

First of all
Airmon-ng says:
Null enx0013ef74022e ????? Realtek Semiconductor Corp.. RTL8122CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter

It is renamed from wlan0 to enx...
Hmmm makes it more complicated to type sth but ok... But driver???

Lsmod output says:

8192cu used by 0...

What can i do here to get it work?

By the way... /etc/udev/rules.d/ is empty??

I wanted to rename it back to wlan0...cause enxblabla is just a littlebit toooo long to work with.

I am essentially experiencing the same thing here with my TP-Link TL-WN722N (AR9271 ) on my Pi 1 / Kali 2.1 box.

ERROR adding monitor mode interface: command failed: Invalid argument (-22)

I am having the exact same issue using the RTL8122CUS.

I tried to update the firmware but no joy.

I too am having exact same issue, with enabling monitor mode and extra long Wifi device name.

Their seems to be multiple threads with others experiencing the same .

These threads address the issue, Haven't had time to go through them. Let me know if they work for you.

http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com...sb-on-raspbian - This thread states the kernel needs reconfigured, then recompiled. If we were to use said kernel in Kali, would that cause any issues?

I have 4 USB Wi-Fi adapters , all Realtek chip set based , needless to say I need a workaround.

Did you find a fix for it yet?
Having the exact same problem with the wn722n

[bahador_b_92]

I'm facing the exact same problem on my RPi Zero.
I'm using a TL-WN722N and a Edimax EW-7811Un.
The TL-WN722N is supposed to connect me to internet or be used with wifite and the the EW-7811Un to prvide me remote access to my RPi.

dmesg | grep enx74da3865e7b6

and

dmesg | grep wlxc04a00087c3a

show:

[ 18.347502] rtl8192cu 1-1.2:1.0 enx74da3865e7b6: renamed from wlan0
[ 22.322180] ath9k_htc 1-1.1:1.0 wlxc04a00087c3a: renamed from wlan0

On wifite I get "null" for my Edimax.

lsmod | grep rtl8192cu

shows nothing.

modprobe rtl8192cu

gives:

modprobe: FATAL: Module rtl8192cu not found in directory /lib/modules/4.1.19+

TL-WN722N works fine btw.

[bahador_b_92]

I just noticed that based on https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Edimax_EW-7811Un the driver that should be used is rtl8192cu. However it seems that kernel uses 8192cu driver. I'm going to mess with driver updating and blacklisting and I will post the results here.

[bahador_b_92]

Okay, I found a tutorial on how to do the driver thing on http://askubuntu.com/questions/24623...l8192cu-driver but the problem is I didn't find the linux headers for my 4.1.19+ armel kernel to even start updating the driver... End of stroy...
