Been trying to play with my new alfa 36ACH. I thought it was working but apparently this PC has an atheros wireless card. anyways, after i realized it wasnt the alfa doing the tasks, i took out the other card and then well. did a fresh install of kali 64bit.
All the info that I have is below. Hope it helps whoever is able to help me.
The problem? wlan doesnt show up in ifconfig or anywhere after installing the drivers.
