| IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ: |

First of all, i had a lot of time struggling with this, installing repos from a lot of sources and finally managed to create one that works for me. I used the David Bombal's and https://github.com/aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng repos, but didn't worked. I hope this works for you.

| Necesary dependencies: |

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

sudo apt-get install bc build-essential libelf-dev linux-headers-generic git dkms autoconf libtool pkg-config libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev libssl-dev ethtool shtool rfkill zlib1g-dev libpcap-dev libsqlite3-dev libpcre3-dev libhwloc-dev libcmocka-dev hostapd wpasupplicant tcpdump screen iw usbutils

sudo reboot (I rebooted my system every few steps in order to make sure that everything works)

| Try either of these commands to see which works: |

  • Option 1: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-uname -r
  • Option 2: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-5.10.0-kali6-amd64

sudo reboot

| Clone the repository: |

git clone https://github.com/BlackBlade1632/rtl8188eu.git

| Go sudo and add to blacklist another driver: |

sudo -i

echo "blacklist r8188eu" > "/etc/modprobe.d/realtek.conf" exitf"

| Cd to the directory and make install: |

cd rtl8188eu/

make all

sudo make install

| This is only to make sure that the file was copied: |

sudo cp -v rtl8188eufw.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/

sudo reboot

| Now the final steps: |

sudo depmod -a

sudo update-initramfs -u

sudo modprobe 8188eu

| Enable 'Monitor mode' |

sudo ifconfig wlan1 down

sudo iwconfig wlan1 monitor mode [channel number (optional)]

sudo ifconfig wlan1 up

iwconfig (to check)
