Good Day,


I am running 2020.3 on VMWare Workstation 15. I am attempting to get the Realtek 8812bu installed and I am at my wit's end in trying to get this to work. Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have included as much info below.


Thanks!

VER=$(sed -n 's/\PACKAGE_VERSION="\(.*\)"/\1/p' dkms.conf)
sudo rsync -rvhP ./ /usr/src/rtl88x2bu-${VER}
sudo dkms add -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER}
sudo dkms build -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER} (this is where it goes south)

Hi there, thanks for the effort!
I followed the exact same steps, but at "dkms build -m rtl88x2bu -v ${VER}". I'm getting this error:
Error! echo
Your kernel headers for kernel 5.5.0-kali2-amd64 cannot be found at
/lib/modules/5.5.0-kali2-amd64/build or /lib/modules/5.5.0-kali2-amd64/source.
You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.
