What I did was to open the usb by removing the orange plastic from above, you have to pull it up, it will break, no problem. (before opening it you have to remove the part of the antenna, once open, you have to clean the board with isopropyl alcohol, if you see something like it is unclean or a sticker residual take it off with a kind of screwdriver you have to scrape it gently and then clean everything with a brush and isopropyl alcohol. After that, when the board is dry, you have to connect the usb to the antenna and then to the pc. It will detect the usb and install the driver, (I have windows 10) In the driver options you have to select " do not allow this adapter to go to sleep" or something like that, it goes with a check that must be unchecked. That was it, I hope it helps. I looked everywhere and it was a hardware problem
Firstly, I'd disregard any files & instructions that came with the device, and instead look it up on debian wiki.
Actyually, stop.
First we need to find out which card you actually use.
Please provide the information requested here.
Also add the output of
I believe will show you that youe USB wifi adapter is recognised by Linux.
Now what we want is to make sure which device you actually have in there, as you said: "RTL8812BU and RTL8811CU". So it should be one of those.
If you look at this quick search, it appears that on Linux these devices are not supprted by the same driver.
I was able to make the device work on my wife (Windows) computer, windows,,, I will probably wait for the 2nd adapter I also ordered ( TP-Link) and get monday, if it's working, I'll may be forget about this one, working on Linux... " BUT STILL"' would like to understand if Linux should be able to at least list it... ( 2 Bunsen PC I have do not list it, one Linux Mint PC I have, do not list it / see it).
I'm not sure any of my topics from last year may be of use to you as I was having issues using USB wi-fi adapters (with RTL chipsets) in BunsenLabs.
I also managed to finally get it to work but I think I had to resort to using a custom driver package from GitHub IIRC.
Holy cannoli, it doesn't say which realtek device it is!
OK, let's search the web instead - there's an interesting askubuntu article. According to that you need the rtl8821CU driver.
Scanning the debian wiki, there seems to be no support for that. So the instructions in the accepted answer are most likely what you want.
I have a Techkey wifi adapter that i'm trying to connect to my kali linux virtual machine. I'm getting into ethical hacking and I need a wireless interface as opposed to ethernet. This wifi adapter works perfectly on my windows host machine and i've tested it and it works perfectly on my linux pc. I never needed to install drivers on an computer in order for it to work, its been a plug and play experience. I have tried just about every possible way that I found online to connect the adapter to my VM. I tried adding it to usb devices. And yes I have the virtual box extension package.
