Run uname -a to show the current kernel version!
I remember the kernel > 6.9 will meet some bug but i still dont figure it out.So i downgrade my kali to 6.3.0 and everything works ! (6.8.x might work,you can test various kernel)

How you install new kernel, i also instal new kernel 6.8 but also not working

[Heyholiday067]

Well...i felt confused now.
But you can follow this steps

1.run lsmod to check the driver is loaded or not
2. run iwconfig to check whether the usb adapter is identified correctly
3.run airmon-ng check kill to kill the processes that will interfere the interface
4.run aireplay-ng -9 wlan0 to test the adapter can inject info into packet
5.use dmesg to output the kernel log and paste here.

It is always not suggested to use vmware or virtualbox.Use real pc instead.

i cant get it to work at VMware workstation I'm using kali 2024.2 I try everything i seen here or on other forums cant get it to work i always end up with error

I can currently reproduce the same problem that Heyholiday067 mentions.

Hardware: Raspberry Pi 4

uname -a: Linux rpi4 6.6.31+rpt-rpi-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 1:6.6.31-1+rpt1 (2024-05-29) aarch64 GNU/Linux

• sudo make dkms_remove; git checkout b44d288; sudo make dkms_install; sudo reboot
  • Monitor mode can be enabled but never reports any packets
• sudo make dkms_remove; git checkout 63cf0b4; sudo make dkms_install; sudo reboot
  • Monitor mode works fine

I've got the same issue- tried Heyholiday067's fork but still the same problem. It can see the adapter when doing an iwconfig, but if you set it to monitor mode and do an airodump-ng with it, no networks are detected.

It is also unusable in normal 'managed' mode either (essentially 'lights on, but no one home').

I am running the arm64 Kali release, fully up to date on a physical laptop- not virtual.

I fix the issue on kali 2024.2
It was easy and no errors I'll update my post soon

[atommo999]

I've ended up buying a different adapter instead now, an AWUS036ACS.

If anyone wants more info on the issue with the ACH though, I can do more tests with it if it helps sort the problem. Just let me know what commands I should try.

If u wait just a little bit more, here is the fix i uploaded a video with the right driver, it was an easy fix

Thanks for your efforts- I have just tried (using the Plasma desktop environment with my Kali) and since doing those steps, I cannot load into the desktop environment.

Straight after rebooting it was much slower to load the login screen, and after logging in it is just stuck with a cursor on a black screen.

I can only imagine the driver has caused some sort of fundamental instability.

It is hard to say whether the problem is related to using Plasma rather than Xfce, or because I am running this on a physical machine rather than virtual.

Others may be able to clarify this with their own tests.

Dude.... THANK YOU.

I'm not sure if its from upgrading to 6.10.9 or your fork but i finally have my AWUS036ACH working again on kali 2024.3 with kernel 6.10.9 with your fork. Everything works again. THANK YOU!

I was trying to get this to work for over a month.
