    Have a look at the output of dmesg, and in /var/log. Those places should give you some info on what's going wrong.

    Be sure to disable your built-in wireless; I've had interference with that and my USB wifi card. As for your USB wifi card, will it go into monitor mode & pass an aireplay-ng packet injection test?

    What a coincidence, I got the exact same problem, Did grids response help ? i cant find any solution at all so for all thous who say's like grid, thanks but no thanks...
    (I am currently checking a installation that i hope will fix this thou i am very unsure about that it will)

    PLEASE HELP USS

    OBS: I have checked the compat wirles page and i cant find anything about Ralink GBI6810 USB wifi btw this device seems to have the same code as this posts "Ralink RT3070"

    UPDATE 1:
    Now i tested the isntall thou it did not work if im gonna be true then i do not have a clue what i am doing, I could end up with a crached system...

    This is what i tested...

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
    sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
    cd /usr/src/
    sudo wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v4.1.1/backports-4.1.1-1.tar.xz
    sudo tar xvfJ backports-4.1.1-1.tar.xz
    cd backports-4.1.1-1/
    sudo make defconfig-wifi
    sudo make
    sudo make install
    sudo update-initramfs -u
    reboot
    After command "make" this came up so im gonna skip this one...
    Code:
     target '/usr/src/backports-4.1.1-1/drivers/net/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.o' failed
    make[8]: *** [/usr/src/backports-4.1.1-1/drivers/net/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.o] Error 1
    /usr/src/linux-headers-4.6.0-kali1-common/scripts/Makefile.build:445: recipe for target '/usr/src/backports-4.1.1-1/drivers/net/wireless' failed
    make[7]: *** [/usr/src/backports-4.1.1-1/drivers/net/wireless] Error 2
    /usr/src/linux-headers-4.6.0-kali1-common/Makefile:1446: recipe for target '_module_/usr/src/backports-4.1.1-1' failed
    make[6]: *** [_module_/usr/src/backports-4.1.1-1] Error 2
    Makefile:146: recipe for target 'sub-make' failed
    make[5]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
    Makefile:8: recipe for target 'all' failed
    make[4]: *** [all] Error 2
    Makefile.build:6: recipe for target 'modules' failed
    make[3]: *** [modules] Error 2
    Makefile.real:88: recipe for target 'modules' failed
    make[2]: *** [modules] Error 2
    Makefile:40: recipe for target 'modules' failed
    make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
    Makefile:30: recipe for target 'default' failed
    make: *** [default] Error 2

    Now im TOTALY out of idea's ....

    UPDATE 2:
    Ok i found a solution thou i do not know if this will work for you with thinking that you mentioned that you have a Killer Wirless-N 1202, but i think this should work, (Use at your own risk)
    Code:
    ifconfig wlan0 down hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01
    ifconfig wlan0 up
    well it worked, thou directly when i had restarted kali linux it losts its settings and now i dont seem to be able to get ip...

    UPDATE 3:
    Can't no one even say if this USB is supported !?
    this thread has been on the forum for over 4 days and not a followup or nothing, It seems im the only one who can help myself.... Thou i can't I even have checked the compat wirless page from kali and i can't see anything about it.......

    UPDATE 4:
    Now ive done all the compatible searched asked 3 different OS suport and even virtualbox support and this is the problem so far
    Feb 21 09:52:03 kali kernel: ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00usb_vendor_request: Error - Vendor Request 0x07 failed for offset 0x1700 with error -110

    TOTAL ERROR LOG HERE

    UPDATE 5:
    when a search on that i found possible solution maybe, (You more advanced experienced maybe can check it out please)

    If you need a tester then tell me...
    Code:
    diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00usb.c b/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00usb.c
    index 14142b099019..6bf4067ebf63 100644

     		}
     	}
     
    +	/* If the port is powered down, we get a -EPROTO error, and this

    +	 */
    +	if (status == -EPROTO)

     		   "Vendor Request 0x%02x failed for offset 0x%04x with error %d\n",
     		   request, offset, status);
    This is crazy, it has gone more then 2 years and this **** USB has not been fixed, I who thought kali of all would be the ones with working drivers becux the system is build a little for using wifi penetration and no other os is the n1 in that....

    Personally, I would get a known, compatible USB wifi card, and stay away from the backports stuff.
