I have tried to install compact-wireless drivers for linux, My Edimax drivers but all just failed. Whenever i try to make install driver make error generated "/lib/modules/4.9.0-kali4-amd64/kernel/drivers/net': No such file or directory" . I don't why this is happening because i have install the linux~headers, kali-wireless, and done the apt intall update && upgrade && dist-upgrade .
iwconfig shows = eht0- no wireless extensions.
I am not able to isnstall the driver there is always make error that lib/driver/net there is no such directory. also tried apt-get install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms but nothing works. Help
uname -a
Linux kali 4.9.0-kali4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.30-2kali1 (2017-06-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Each time kali gives me the "theres and update" banner in the top screen and i do the upgrade, after reboot the AWUS036 adapter isnt working.

This is how i have managed to fix it. Some steps maybe irrelevant but i do them to be sure and cause i dont actually completely understand linux:
Here are the steps:
sudo apt remove realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms

After those i reboot and the AWUS036 adapter is working again. This happened to me one hour ago and these steps worked again.

Cheers.
