Ralink RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter
Mathew
I'm using Qubes OS for my pentests at work, I have some issues trying to connect my Alfa network wireless USB card in my Kali AppVM though.
I chose to install kali manually as explained here : https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/pentesting/kali/#templatevm-from-debian3_2
It works fine ! However, when I plug & add the wireless device to my kali AppVM I can't make it works.
Here the lsusb result in my kali-rolling Template, I had to blacklist the rt2800usb module :
$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2870/RT3070 Wireless Adapter
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Both firware-ralink and firmware-misc-nonfree are installed. Build-essential too.
When I try to install the driver from the official website (https://www.alfa.com.tw/files/?dir=%5B1%5D%20WiFi%20USB%20adapter/AWUS036H/Linux), here the feedback :
$ make
