Hi guys i just got a alfa AWUS036AC wireless adapter and i have been trying to get it to work with kali. the adapter is not detected by kali and i can't connect to the internet with it however i have another wifi adapter that works fine with it. The adapter came with a driver disc but when i go to open it file manager closes and all my desktop icons disappear. Next i downloaded the driver from the website but it won't install. what do i do now?
This is the error message i get when i try to install the driver for it that i downloaded from the website.
Authentication requested [root] for make driver:make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/4.3.0-kali1-amd64/build M=/root/AWUS036AC_036EAC_ACH_linux_v4.3.8_12175.20140902/driver/rtl8812AU_linux_v4.3.8_12175.20140902 modulesmake[1]: *'** /lib/modules/4.3.0-kali1-amd64/build: No such file or directory. Stop.Makefile:1456: recipe for target 'modules' failedmake: *** [modules] Error 2#Compile make driver error: 2Please check error Mesg#
This is what it says in 'dmesg' when i plug in the adapter.
