Hello there,

3.1 rtl8814AU_linux_v5.8.5.1_35583.20191029.tar.gz

Was the realtek file that was sent with my device. I have tried many drivers and so success so far. Anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks in Advance
Michael

Hello TekNoWene, & welcome to LQ.

As for your question, the short answer is: DON'T INSTALL IT!

Kali is best viewed as a tool, needing a wired connection. It's not like other distros. Install a distro if you want to. Have you seen this?

Unzip the tar and follow the install script instructions .

or

Code:

sudo apt install git dkms
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
cd rtl8812au
sudo ./dkms-install.sh

I don't run Kali. Above is Ubuntu instructions.

So far, three different rtl8* devices have been mentioned in this thread.
So, which one is it?

Since Kali is based on Debian, I'd rather ecommend this: https://wiki.debian.org/
Maybe this page: https://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x

You guys are confusing the OP with driver instructions. The standard install doesn't have wifi firmware IIRC. It's a tool for pen testing and the guys who know how to pen test and use it don't get everything working either. He wants a fixed address nic.
