Hi All,
Did anybody manage to make the adapter work with Kali 2018.2?
My Kali is running in VMWare Workstation 14 Pro on a Laptop Dell Latitude 7440 and I tried also on a Dell Precision 1700.
The adapter is connected to a USB 3 port.
I've installed the driver realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms and it seems it has been installed without any errors:
root@kali:~# apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms

lo no wireless extensions.
Then I uninstalled it:
apt-get remove realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
apt-get purge realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
reboot
And tried the driver from kimocodo:

lo no wireless extensions.
I'd highly appreciate your response. I don't have any ideeas left...
Thanks a lot.
Update: I managed to make it working.
I've set the USB of the host in VMWare from 2.0 to 3.0.
It has though a strange behaviour: sometime it finds a lot of SSID, sometime only 4-5... most of the time it finds only 2,4 GHz of my AP, but not the 5GHz.
Do you have any advice?
Thanks!
Regards,
crymy
