4.7.0-kali-amd64

[DenisSlobodyanyuk]

I am having issues installing it on Kali Rolling 2016.2 kernel:4.7.0-kali-amd64 I am new to Kali and trying to get my Linksys WUSB6300 to work. Currently I have it working sometimes but I get:

wlan1 unassociated Nickname:"WIFI@REALTEK" Mode:Managed Frequency=2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated Sensitivity:0/0 Retry:off RTS the:off Fragment the:off Encryption key:off Power Management:otff Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0 Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

When I get to "git archive driver-${DRV_VERSION} | tar -x -C /usr/src/${DRV_NAME}-${DRV_VERSION}" I get the error "fatal: Not a git repository" "tar: This does not look like a tar archive" "tar: Exiting with the failure status due to previous errors" and when I use "cd rtl8812AU" and then "git archive driver-${DRV_VERSION} | tar -x -C /usr/src/${DRV_NAME}-${DRV_VERSION}" I get the error "fatal: Not a valid object name" "tar: This does not look like a tar archive" "tar: Exiting with the failure status due to previous errors"

Did you define DRV_NAME and DRV_VERSION before you ran the git archive ... command? Also make sure you run those commands as root and if you use sudo, place the sude before the tar -x part as writing to /usr/src/ isn't (normally) allowed by a normal user. And you do indeed need to run those commands inside the rtl8812AU directory (or whichever directory you cloned the repo into).

Ran:

DRV_NAME=rtl8812AU DRV_VERSION=4.3.14 sudo mkdir /usr/src/${DRV_NAME}-${DRV_VERSION} git archive driver-${DRV_VERSION} | sudo tar -x -C /usr/src/${DRV_NAME}-${DRV_VERSION}

still get

"fatal: Not a valid object name" "tar: This does not look like a tar archive" "tar: Exiting with the failure status due to previous errors"

you need to run "git archive driver-${DRV_VERSION} | sudo tar -x -C /usr/src/${DRV_NAME}-${DRV_VERSION}" inside the directory that you have decompress the files from git. If you have the files on "/tmp/rtl8812AU" then you need to be inside before run the command above. diederikdehaas is say this on his last sentence. The instructions needs to clarify this as it is not clear.

[diederikdehaas]

what happens if you make the first part of the last command you used into the following:

git archive --format=tar driver-${DRV_VERSION}

Sorry do I actually ran:

cd rtl8812AU/ DRV_NAME=rtl8812AU DRV_VERSION=4.7.0 sudo mkdir /usr/src/${DRV_NAME}-${DRV_VERSION} git archive driver-${DRV_VERSION} | sudo tar -x -C /usr/src/${DRV_NAME}-${DRV_VERSION}

[diederikdehaas]

DRV_VERSION=4.7.0

That's your error. There is no driver-4.7.0 branch.

Second comment ->DRV_VERSION=4.3.14, last comment -> DRV_VERSION=4.7.0. ?????????????????

I thought the version was supposed to be kernel version. using 4.3.14 worked on installing but still get the wlan as unassociated
