| Summary | 0008069: Not able to install Alfa RTL88XXau USB Wifi Driver | ||||
| Description | Hello when i will enter the command Make it will throw some error's . - There are two 'uname -r' directoies in /lib/models - The /lib/modules/5.18.0-kali5-amd64 does not have the build directory - modifying the Makefile to compensate for this, allows it to run - However 'sudo makefile install' fails with that modified Makefile - reverting to the original Makefile looks ok, the module gets placed in the /lib/modules/5.18.0-kali5-amd64 directory. - However it does not seem to load the wireless adapter does not get activated general issue seems here the two different instances: /lib/modules/5.18.0-kali5-amd64 | ||||

For clarity as I did not find a way to edit my report: the two directories are: /lib/modules/5.18.0-kali5-amd64 /lib/modules/6.0.0-kali3-amd64 where the 5.18 does not have the build directory and the 6.0 does. |
|
|
FYI the package name is realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms |
|
|
That is a correct documented observation, however installing that does not load the module properly to activate the wifi adapter. Tried that first before I went out to build the module. Additionally it is my expectation that this mixture of these module build and kernel directories will impact all people trying to build / compile. It came after doing a fresh install using 222.3 and doing apt update, apt ugrade before the dkms as found n different explanations. |

Using the dkms on a usb lve with persstence also does not work As a temporary solution using the lve usb with persstence and building the mode does activate it and makes it usable |
