I use tp-link wn725n (chip set rtl8188eus)
iw dev
iw phy phy0 info
Here will show all your wifi card parameters
iwconfig
when it first connects, it's usually mode: auto, it's actually mode: manager
lsusb
lsusb -D /dev/bus/usb/<bus>/<device>
You can refer to the following links:
- Command Install: https://github.com/davidbombal/Kali-Linux/blob/main/TP-Link%20TL-WN722N%20adapter
- Install Driver: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus
- Tool Auto Install: https://github.com/lucthienphong1120/rtl8188eus
First, update the OS
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
reboot
- Method 1: Run the following command to install the kernel header file.
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
After running this command, the system will automatically find the matched kernel header file to download and install it. If the Kali server is updated, you may not find the specific file, in this case, you can manually download and install the header file.
- Method 2: Manually Download and Compile to Install
Check the system version of Kali
uname -r
Example: 5.15.0-kali3-amd64
Go to one of the following link:
Ctrl+F and find linux-kbuild- + 5.15 + _5.15 + xxxxxx + amd64.deb (choose the appropriate version you need)
xxxxxx here is .15-1kali2_
Ctrl+F and find linux-headers- + 5.15.0-kali3-amd64 + _5.15 + xxxxxx + _amd64.deb (choose the appropriate version you need)
Maybe you will need linux-compiler-gcc-11-x86
Go to download directory
sudo dpkg -i linux-kbuild......
sudo dpkg -i linux-compiler......
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers.....
dpkg-query -s linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Check the /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/ directory and you will see a build link file
Go to the driver directory (rtl8188eus with me). Run the following commands to compile the driver.
make all
make install
If success, you can will a name of the <chip>.ko file is stored in there.
sudo apt install bc
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libelf-dev
sudo apt install dkms
sudo rmmod r8188eu.ko
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus
cd rtl8188eus
sudo -i
echo 'blacklist r8188eu' | sudo tee -a '/etc/modprobe.d/realtek.conf'
exit
reboot
cd rtl8188eus
sudo make && make install
reboot
