So I went and bought Raspberry Pi 5 and got Kali up and running headless via SSH. The problem is now the new kernel 6.6.63-v8+ and compatibility with drivers of Alpha AWUS1900 WIFI dongle. Chipset in question is RTL8814AU.
The problem is that I’m unable to find a driver package that is compatible with this kernel, and I don’t know if there is even one.
I have tried also “sudo apt install --no-install-recommends realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms” as suggested on the page: Raspberry Pi 5 | Kali Linux Documentation but I get the following errors:
Building for 6.6.63-v8+
Building initial module for 6.6.63-v8+
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.6.63-v8+ (aarch64)

For one solution would be finding an older kernel which is supported by this driver and downgrading, but I’m very n00b on this and would need a good guide. I tried switching kernel couple times, but almost managed to brick my RPI5 as it requires editing of boot config. I know for sure this driver would work on kernel 6.1.0-kali5-amd64 but I haven’t founded a site with “so old” kernels to download. If you can help me in anyways I would be grateful
