Hi fella's,

i've got this usb wlan card which is perfectly supported and working on Linux mint 17,
but i'd like to get this thing working on kali linux(debian) as well.
Does anyone know if there's a driver for this thing or where to get drivers for such devices?
thankyou

Kali is not Debian. Move a long now sir. Ask in Kali forum.

@skittle: No kali is not debian but it's derived from it(that's what i've read) sorry my bad, but i think you understand the question?.. whatever, a driver for kali for this device obviously.
I found a driver which was designed for debian, but would work on kali too, but it doesn't.
(but many packets are adopted from debian)

See the Kali support forums: http://forums.kali.org/. Due to the very specific nature of Kali not all of the wireless adapters supported by the more mainstream distributions are supported.

Kali, although derived from (uses many of same packages as a base) debian, has custom patched kernel and custom packages.

Kali is not an appropriate distribution for someone who cannot solve a simple problem like this on their own. There are enough script-kiddies in the world already without spoonfeeding any more.
