Install works fine, get segfault when running

[nohren]

I ran sudo reboot several times. Error is reproducible every time.

Trying to get a ALFA Network AWUS036ACS / Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Realtek 8812AU/8821AU 802.11ac WLAN Adapter [USB Wireless Dual-Band Adapter 2.4/5Ghz] working on a raspberry pi 4 running kali linux.

On step 1, instead of looking for linux-headers which don't exist in kali raspberry pi distribution, I am using it like so.

sudo apt install -y kalipi-kernel-headers build-essential bc dkms git libelf-dev rfkill iw

Kernel is 5.15.44-Re4son-v7l+

Notice kalipi-kernel-headers

The driver builds just fine. Of note, gcc --version came up with major version 14. And kernel gcc was major version 11. gcc-11 is not available to kali linux distro. I tried changing gcc --version to 12 which is available. Same issue. So then I tried building gcc-11 from source, and that failed after a very lengthy process.

I'm not even sure this is the real issue and I feel I've run out of sane options. Could use some guidance here.

Recommend you try the following driver:

@morrownr do you know what could be causing the segfault? Is it most likely gcc version mismatch or something else?

No

No idea.

Kali for RasPi's has been very problematic. You can install RasPiOS and then install the apps you want. I am not going to work any problems with Kali.
