Hi,
I got the ALFA AWUS036NHA a week ago and I keep running into the problem that the usb keeps deinitializing.
Sometimes it stays up but for most of the time I have to keep plugging it in or out just to see if it will work.
I have some DMESG here:

I'm running it on Kali 1.09a. Anyone else had this or know what the problem is?
Any help is appreciated.
