Summary0001081: Installation errors for Alfa AWUS036NH 2000mW wifi usb
Description

we plugged in the Alfa AWUS036NH 2000mW using the following link :
http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatibility_drivers#drivers
we did not find the drivers for this model as such for the chipset RT3070.
In the OS it states that drivers are available and when we checked to set the unit into monitor mode it did not work.
we checked the following link but it does not work
http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatible_cards&DokuWiki=bf92ee39d26436a416673333abe7af1e
then we tried to activate the card based on this link:

http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-install-rt2870-chipset-based-usb-wireless-adapter.html

when i do the make these are the errors I get

Sorry, no clue what you're trying to do. A compilation failure of $random_driver is not a bug in Kali.
