No, you need to actually PAY ATTENTION and read what you're being told.
Kali is for experienced Linux users..you ARE NOT. There is absolutely NOTHING that Kali can do, that you cannot do with any other distro of Linux. Only difference being that Kali has security/pentesting tools built in, and you don't have to manually install them. That's it....if you want to learn, that will give you excellent experience. And chances are just loading Mint will get your wifi working right out of the box.
You're ignoring the advice of people who are far more experienced than you, and you're wondering why you're having problems.
In all fairness, there's loads of reports of problems with certain obscure realtek devices.
Combine that with a Linux newb who wants to jump in the deep end, sh!t happens.
dear OP, Kali is based on Debian.
see here: https://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x?high...8rtl8188eus%29
It mentions your device; apparently you can use the r8188eu driver which should be part of the kernel, but this does not jibe with my tests. Something is fishy.

well i have this id 0bda:f179 when i did lsusb and google out the driver rtl8188ftv i installed this from this.
still not working
sudo apt-get install git build-essential
git clone git://github.com/ulli-kroll/rtl8188fu
cd rtl8188fu
make
sudo make installfw
sudo modprobe cfg80211
sudo insmod rtl8188fu.ko
sudo depmod -a
sudo update-initramfs -u
the wifi works but its not connecting to any of the wifi
update: upon reboot wifi is gone not showing anything
i have to do these code again to wifi to work upon boots
sudo apt-get install git build-essential
git clone git://github.com/ulli-kroll/rtl8188fu
cd rtl8188fu
make
sudo make installfw
sudo modprobe cfg80211
sudo insmod rtl8188fu.ko
sudo depmod -a
sudo update-initramfs -u
the wifi works but its not connecting to any of the wifi update: upon reboot wifi is gone not showing anything i have to do these code again to wifi to work upon boots output of ifconfig:
there is no wireless and ap associated that why i cannot connect to any wifi with my adaptor so anyone can fix this?
Again, you appear to just be ignoring what you're being told. Kali **IS NOT FOR NEW USERS** but experienced Linux users, and if you read Kali's own website, it tells you this, along with the fact that Kali disables wifi by default. There is much advice on Kali's website on this: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...-from-terminal
But **AGAIN**, you really should load something else. Because all you're going to have is problems with everything you try to do that isn't security/pentesting related. Kali **IS NOT** meant for daily use, so your experiences with web browsers, email, and other such programs aren't going to be good. And to state it again, ANY modern distro of Linux can do everything Kali can do. If you're a new user and genuinely want to actually learn, you'd be far better of loading Mint, then identifying the various tools, what they do, and installing them. THAT will give you far more knowledge.
SLACKWARE 14.2 - Installing RTL8188FU (0bda:f179) & USING AS WIFI ACCESS POINT USING HOSTAPD
Although this post may be old, I hope this reply will be of assistance to a desperate Slackware Linux user stuck with a Realtek Semiconductor Corp USB dongle
(idVendor=0bda, idProduct=f179) and wanting to use it as an access point via hostapd.

Nice, but the original post was for Kali not Slackware. And the OP wound up using Mint instead. I would consider posting this in the Slackware forum if I were you, so others can benefit.
