Finally, I (re)installed the proper Realtek drivers. root@kali: ~# apt-get install -y realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms

ALFA AWUS036ACH is a long range dual antenna 867 Mbps Wi-Fi USB adapter compatible with Windows XP through Windows 10. It features two RP-SMA antenna ports, and two 5 dBi dual-band antennas. The antennas are detachable and can be upgraded. It also has a power amplifier that increases it's reception range compared to ALFA's earlier model AWUS036AC.Yea, that is actually a known issue with a few versions of Kali for now. That said, I’m glad you realized that you can just use iwconfig to put it in monitor mode! Does anyone have a good How To or instructions? This particular Pi is located too far away from the WiFi access point to use the build in WiFi and connect reliably so I bought the above ALFA adapter... I don't understand what you mean by " Oh well that's why I'm using a VM. ". If you use a VM you need to enable USB 3.0 support otherwise the device won't work.

With the drivers installed, I reconnected the device and verified that it showed up in iwconfig. root@kali: ~# iwconfig i don't know if that's the issue but it worth tryingSecond method (dkms way) should be the good one now that kali 2017.1 allows it. AWUS036AC comes with lastest 802.11ac standards with hardware-based WiFi optimization, plus two external high gain antennas, resulting in extra-ordinary signal range.
