Summary0001430: Unable to detect Realtek rtl8187 Wireless Card
Description

Kali Linux 1.0.7 does not have drivers pre-installed for the Realtek rtl8187 Wireless Card. I am unable to install the drivers because the chromebook kali image does not have proper headers. The usb device is detected but is not assigned an interface. The only interface present is mlan0.

Steps To Reproduce

Plug in Realtek rtl8187 Wireless Card to usb port. Attempt to install drivers for device.

I'm a bit confused. We haven't released a 1.0.7 version of the chromebook image yet. ARM images do not use standard kernels - please take a look at there scrips to get a better idea of what's going on : https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-arm-build-scripts
