Summary	0004282: Trying to install drivers for AWUS036ACH USB 3.0 Network Adapter
Description	I have been trying and trying to get the drivers installed for this adapter. I have tried several different peoples approaches to installing the drivers and none have worked for me so far. When I went to the kali.org website I noticed they actually mention the exact adapter and how to install the drivers, but even running: apt update apt install realtek-rtl8812au-dkms I get a return of: eading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package realtek-rtl8812au-dkms I have installed the kali-bleeding-edge and another hoping a fix or something would be in one. I am new to Linux and would really appreciate some help.
Steps To Reproduce	Open a terminal as a root user and run: apt update apt install realtek-rtl8812au-dkms I have also done: wget https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au and followed the readme files contained within.
