    Need help installing WUSB6300 on Kali Rolling 2016.1

    Hi all. I am new to linux and am having issues installing Realtek rtl8812au to get my WUSB6300 to work. I run the commands

    sudo apt-get install build-essential git
    git clone https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au.git
    cd rtl8812au
    make
    sudo make install
    sudo modprobe 8812au

    but on make command I get the following

    make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/4.6.0-kali-amd64/build M=/root/rtl8812au modules
    make[1]: *** /lib/modules/4.6.0-kali-amd64/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
    Makefile:1052: recipe for target 'modules' failed
    make: *** [modules] Error 2

    I am running Kali as the only OS.

    Hi

    It didn't compile because you are running x64 bit version of Kali Linux and rtl8812au installed on x86 (32 bit).

    Noted in:
    Building

    The Makefile is preconfigured to handle most x86/PC versions.
    you don't have to install Kali 32 bit. just enable 32 bit architecture in 64 bit and you can install/compile any 32 bit program normally. To enable i386 (32 bit) architecture run:
    # sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

    to make sure it's now support i386 run:
    # cat /var/lib/dpkg/arch
    amd64
    i386
    For more information: Multiarch

    I ran cat /var/lib/dpkg/arch and got
    amd64
    i386

    but I still get the error when I run make

    I solved it but now I have different issue. I installed the rtl8812au driver but now when I plug in the adapter, it doesn't see any networks. When running iwconfig I get the following:

    wlan1 unassociated Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>"
    Mode:Managed Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
    Sensitivity:0/0

    Having the same issues with the make. Tried both adding i386 architecture as installing a whole i386, but nothing seems to work and getting the same error as in the initial post.
    What can be done in order to solve this?
