I am currently trying to install a wireless adapter for Kali Linux Distro, that adapter being the ALFA AC1200 or AWUS036ACH. The problem is... while I did properly INSTALL the drivers, using the command

apt install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms

in terminal, the problem relies with Kali Linux's Dependencies.

 

When I do

iwconfig

or

ifconfig

The Wireless Adapter Card doesn't show, even after rebooting does it not show.

 

The ONLY WAY, I have managed to get it to work, is by doing

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade


But the problem with that is... It's still extremely buggy and unreliable. If I try to manually make, and install the drivers for my Wireless Card, I usually get the error saying

root@kali:~# modprobe 8812au

modprobe: FATAL: Module 8812au not found in directory /lib/modules/4.6.0-kali1-amd64

 

I am running on the newest version of Kali Linux, that being Kali 2018.3, Running I believe Kernal 4.17.0.

 

These were my headers after I did apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade:

And this is before

Can someone please tell me how I can install the dependencies, without waiting about 3 hours updating all my packages?


I know it has to do something with headers, or packages, or something dependency wise. I can't figure it out for the life of me.
