I'm looking for a new USB WiFi adaptor for use on Kali with the aircrack tools that I can use on monitor mode.
Is the following ALFA radio compatible?
AWUS036AC - chipset RTL8812AU
Thanks

This post supplies links to drivers and confirms that its working http://anekiblog.blogspot.ie/2015/08/realtek-rtl8812au-8811au-linux-driver.html
According to this link there's no support http://saltwaterc.github.io/aircrack-db/

Can confirm that it's working with the link provided in the previous post. Thank you!
After struggling a bit with the compiler, was able to finally make it and it works properly now and it turns into monitor mode straight ahead with iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
Since my kernel version was up to date, the code which had to be compiled needed some changes. For example:
in the Makefile uncomment:
EXTRA_CFLAGS += -Wno-error=date-time # Fix compile error on gcc 4.9 and laterchanged:
CONFIG_POWER_SAVING = yinto:
CONFIG_POWER_SAVING = n
Also made some changes in the code after each compile error I was getting.

I can't seem to get make to compile.. it's throwing me an error
rtl8812AU[...]/include/hal_com.h:519:13: error: 'file_path' redeclared as different kind of symbol
extern char file_path[PATH_LENGTH_MAX];
What kind of modifications did you exactly make to the code to get it to compile?

If I remember correctly this definition is not used at all and can be deleted.
On a somewhat different note I'm trying to get packet injection to work on this adapter. I read answers which say it's supported and some which say it is not.
Does someone have any confirmed info on whether it's working or not?

Mode monitor is working but i have problems for injection.
All injection tests give me 0% injection rate,
Once i managed to inject... 1 single ACK packet with aireplay-ng -0 attack.
reaver is not working,
A question to you : Can your properly fix a channel while sniffing with airodump-ng? if i use the option --channel it doesn't work correctly.

There are updates on this??

Hello Bianco8 (and others),
I've seen posters claim to have found a solution, but I have never been able to get success by doing what they say they did.
In fact, I have -NEVER- gotten any version of the Realtek RTL8812(xx) chipsets to work properly under Linux.

AWUS036AC uses rtl8812au chipset.
There are now drivers for mode monitor and injection for this chipset:
summing up the situation
1) In the first message of this post there is no packet injection with the driver used by the user, WEP crack is done by sniffing traffic generated by a legitimate client.
2) The drivers to be used are this one: https://github.com/astsam/rtl8812au (https://github.com/astsam/rtl8812au) (by astsam)
3) There is a dkms package in Kali Linux for astsam drivers
sudo apt get install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkmsThe packet is already available in kali-dev repositories and will be soon included in kali rolling repositories (maybe it is already there)
Bugtrack Kali: https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=3260#c6577 (https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=3260#c6577)
You need to enable mode monitor with iwconfig with this driver
The driver works with all aircrack-ng utilities, reaver, hostapd... It works well in both bands, mode monitor & injection.
It is compatible with rtl8812AU & rtl8814AU
Enjoy! :)

I actually just got this fixed today. Kali's loaded drivers for the this adapter in their DKMS. If i understand it right, you'll need to uncomment (remove the #) from the second link of the sources.list to get access to the dkms packages - someone feel free to chime in if this is an inaccurate assumption.
Below got this driver working on my machine:
apt-get install dkms
apt-get install realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms
See bug report at https://bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=3960

I am getting a lot of errors while trying to compile this driver on Fedora 26 Linux 4.12. below are the errors I am getting. i am not sure how to fixed them. Please help.
