What have you tried: Many attempts to install the WiFi USB Adapter, always get the same error as everyone else is finding. Should I give up and get the MT Chipset Wifi card?

What is the error: the ERROR: SubProcess /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

What device is this on: Pi5 running Kali 2025.1

Hi @bestie

This error possibly means a package installation failed due to dependency issues or kernel module compilation errors.

You can try troubleshooting:

  1. Check the Chipset of Your Current WiFi Adapter
  2. Check if Drivers Are Already Available
  3. Manually Install the Driver
  4. Check for Kernel Incompatibility Issues

If you need more details how to perform these troubleshooting let me know that. Also me reply with the result. Have a nice day :smiley:
