Cap_Sig Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 What are you running Kali on? Live ISO, VM, HDD install ?

I guess to rule out power issue is that on the same system that Kali is on, dual boot? Did you buy a genuine Alfa adapter? Some of the knock offs cause issues in Kali. The RT3070 chipset should be plug and play as long as you didn't load any other drivers manually into Kali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarfdard Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Yes i have a dual boot. Yes i had buy a real alfa product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauley Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I do have the exact same problem. Same WiFi stick on Kali 2020. I cant solve it.. My stick does work on Windows perfectly. But not in a Kali 2020 VM and not on a installation on hdd. It does work on the Kali Live CD (WHY EVER??). I installed it with that live cd and it doesnt work again. wlan1 -> device not ready "error - unstable hardware" "device failed to enter state 4 (-5) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauley Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Okay, it doesnt seem to work in the live cd anymore as well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauley Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 But it seems to work on a different notebook with a live cd (same image). Can someone help me to get it work on my first Notebook as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob123 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 So in vmware it seems that I can get the AWUS036NEH to work on Kali 2019.2 and before but NOT Kali 2019.3 and forward. Using uname -r I get: Kali 2019.2 => 4.19.0-kali4-amd64 Kali 2019.3 => 5.2.0-kali2-amd64 So I guess when the kernel went from 4 to 5 we lost support for the AWUS036NEH. I also have an AWUS051NH and so far it works on everything up to 2019.4. I haven't tried the 2020's yet as I have to modify my VMs and I haven't done that yet. I'm also downloading the ISOs as I want to see if the AWUS036NEH's work in those as Mauley stated. I'm curious why it would work in an ISO and not on an installed OS or VM. I'll update when I have more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
