    Kali Linux AWUS036AC driver installation problems

    Hi. I've been trying since yesterday to install the driver for my AWUS036AC. At first, I thought the product didn't work but then I tried it on my Windows operating system and it functioned well. But for some reason, I can't get it to work on my Linux operating system. I am running Kali Linux 2.0 on a USB. I will go into detail about what I am doing. So with the package came a disk. This disk is obviously used for the drivers. When I inserted it on Windows, a pretty installation popped up and you just click yes. On Linux, you gotta go into the disk itself. I go in and I find the folder labeled "Linux Drivers". In there, I find the appropriate driver for my adapter labeled "AWUS036AC_036EAC_ACH_linux_v4.3.2_11100". In other tutorials I have seen, you enter the folder through Terminal then type the "make" command. But when I do this, here's the error I get:

    make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/4.3.0-kali1-amd64/build M=/home/ew/Desktop/AWUS036AC_036EAC_ACH_linux_v4.3.2_11100.20140411 modules
    make[1]: *** /lib/modules/4.3.0-kali1-amd64/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
    Makefile:1350: recipe for target 'modules' failed
    make: *** [modules] Error 2

    I don't know why this is happening and I've tried so many things to fix this. My Kernel is up and good since when I type "uname -r" command, here's what I get:

    4.3.0-kali1-amd64

    Any idea on what I gotta do? Is there something extra I need to install? Should I even use a disk for it? Any help would REALLY be appreciated since I really wanna get this working. In case I gotta download anything, here is my sources.list file in case I am missing anything:


    deb http://http.kali.org/ /kali main contrib non-free
    deb http://http.kali.org/ /wheezy main contrib non-free
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main contrib non-free
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main/debian-installer
    deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-dev main contrib non-free
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
    deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main/debian-installer
    deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
    deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
    deb http://repo.kali.org/kali kali-bleeding-edge main



    Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks for reading. Have a nice day.

    UPDATE: Okay so I finally managed to get the drivers installed. Now the issue is, I can't get the card into monitor mode... Here's what happens when I put wlan0 down and type "iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor":


    Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.

    Idk why it doesn't seem to work. The chipset is RTL8812AU and I've looked it up and it's apparently STILL not compatible with monitor mode... Is this true? Did I pretty much just waste $60?

    How did you solved the previous problem?
    This one: Makefile:1350: recipe for target 'modules' failed
    make: *** [modules] Error 2
