To anyone getting the following error:
ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C M=/home/kali/rtl8812au modules
make[1]: * No such file or directory. Stop.
make: * [Makefile:2251: modules] Error 2

Make sure you: sudo apt dist-upgrade
After make sure to: sudo reboot now
BUT also i found that sometimes this command can be needed: sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
OR: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

This fixed my issue for me on the new versions of kali, and thought i would send it to help anyone else! Good Luck. Great video!

This is the second video of yours that has saved me hours upon hours of researching and critical thinking. I've been slowly learning how to properly test WiFi and I can't thank you enough for your content. Hats off to you sir!

[johngarcia]

Great video and wonderful instruction! I am up and running with the AWUS036ACH wireless adapter. Thank you David.

[khalifakhalifi]

Glad to have discovered your channel! I love the video, clean, simple and it works. It is like a tutorial narrated by a professional narrator!

[roadtosecurityprofessional]

This entire series is extremely helpful, informative and well put together - thank you!

[gabibd]

David you truly are the best. Thank you for going to such detailed and explained video. You make our life a lot easier. I wish you and your family the very best!

[terrancepinkney]

YOU. ARE. THE. MAN! Thank you so much David for your time and efforts with all these videos. So much great content so helpful and informative. I couldn't figure out how to get this Alfa Wireless adapter to connect for the longest time until today!

[kyleeklund]

I really enjoy watching your videos. I've always been tech savvy but I've recently started learning some basics and intermediate topics you cover on your channel.
You are a great teacher. Thank you for your service to us wanting to learn. 👍👍

[SuperWubDub]

I remember leaving a comment asking for this exact video! I literally just got it up and running after giving up and plugging it in directly to my kali raspberry and it finally worked haha I’ll refer back to this video when I get around to trying it in a VM

[steelcoyote]

Perfect! Works like a charm! Thank you for your straightforward, informative video!

[polarbearstorm]

Been having problems with an RT WiFi driver for over a week, purchased new WiFi adapted yesterday, be here tomorrow.
Hopefully get both going.
Super interesting learning this, really appreciate your time and videos, I’ll get there. 😂👍

[muenzi]

You made my day! Your tutorial worked out perfectly. Thank you so much. I was closely to throw away my ASUS wifi adapter after spoiling millions of hours trying to get my adapter running.

Mr David Bombal, sir the AWUS036ACM alfa Wifi adapter is a MediaTek 7612U chipset. In order for the wifi adapter AWUS036ACM to be detected is to load up the kali in VMware or virtual box first than you inserted or plug right in the wifi adapter in order for the wifi adapter to get detected than you do ifconfig or lsusb to check. I have both tested kali and parrot (the latest versions) and it works. Make sure to load up kali or parrot first then plug in the AWUS036ACM wifi adapter then it works. Make sure to insert the wifi adapter via usb 3.0 (the blue connector) set the VMware and virtual box with 3.1 and 3.0 respectively. If you do a tutorial video on this fix that will be excellent.

Thanks Dave, another great tutorial .... i was pulling hair out trying to get the Alfa going ! you made the process seamless ! thanks once again .. regards Steve (Adelaide)

[charliecrane]

Bought the AWUS036AC because i saw this video of you getting the drivers working and ive just set it up following your guide, works perfectly thank you David

[johngregg]

Great vid. Info is still current. Got my adaptor running perfectly. Thanks, Dave!

[elm]

You're the man. I've been struggling for days now

[GrahamAtDesk]

Nice one David. The folks who had to use sudo to run make install (at 5:10) probably ran `git clone` as root, which would mean they wouldn't have permission to create files inside the repository as their normal user. If this happens to you, best practice is to delete the cloned repo, re-clone it and run `make` without sudo, then run `make install` with sudo.

[sMakesMeHappy]

Thanks! I just ipgraded to a 5GHz adapter and never would have got this sorted without your help. Much appreciated.
