Hello,
I'm having a problem where the adapter is only recognized briefly and then stops working.
It's detected via lsusb, but it doesn't start and is no longer usable.
The error has also been reported on GitHub, as the driver for the Realtek chip cannot be installed without errors.
After installation, Kali was updated (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get full-upgrade).
Error report on GitHub:
