Why RT2870 instead of RT3070?Īlso I had many warnings about unsigned variable and some errors during installation ( before step 3) and because of those warnings and errors I did step 3 and after rebooting and connecting the USB device to Kali I still have ERROR for 802.11g WLAN USB wireless driver and nothing happens.Once you download your new driver, then you need to install it. Did I do that right?Īfter updating Kali's kernel headers and connecting the USB device to Kali I have ERROR for 802.11g WLAN usb wireless driver and nothing happens.Īfter these commands make & make installĪ file is copied to /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat.

Please help me step by step to install my wireless USB device on Kali. When you check the extracted files of the downloaded driver you see many conditions for kernel 2.4 or 2.6 versions (meaning that it's an old driver and I think should change some code in that project). I went to MediaTek | RT3070 to download latest version of this chip. Now I want to install my Alfa-AWUS036H wireless USB device to Kali. apt-get update & apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) I've downloaded latest Kali Linux ( amd64) and installed it on VMware Workstation 10.Īfter installation I upgraded Kali's kernel headers to the latest version (now I have v3.16).
