- As the 36ACH had terrible driver issues, Packet injection worked 1/2 time. I used the drivers in Kali’s repo and airmon-ng / kismet did not work. I then used aircrack’s drivers that they released, had packet injection problems. I’m sure in time the 36ACH will be rock solid, until then I will go with 36NHA.
- I couldn't find any solutions online and tried switching the port it was plugged in to, and after trying that a few times I noticed that virtualbox is displaying 3 of the original 'Realtek 802.11n NIC' options that showed up when I first plugged it in and one 'Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8812AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN Adapter' option, all of.
- In this case, RTL8812AU. It also lists the IDs ( 0bda:8812 ) which is what would be returned on Linux with the lsusb command, right next to ID. If it were on Windows, even if the drivers were not installed, looking in the device manager, that ID would be found in Details pane of the device itself, in the property “Hardware IDs”.
Re: Realtek RTL8812AU 8811AU Linux Driver with Aircrack-ng wep crack success « Reply #9 on: October 03, 2015, 11:46:46 pm » Some good news, after installing aircrack-ng from the latest source files airodump isn't hanging the system anymore. Here is a project on GitHub for dictionary-attack: Probable-Wordlists Speed up Crack with Airolib-ng. Airolib-ng is an aircrack-ng suite tool designed to store and manage essid and password lists, compute their Pairwise Master Keys (PMKs) and use them in WPA/WPA2 cracking.

Driver Information
Developed internally by Realtek, and then patched by open community members.
This drivers is not mainlined (might never will be, from the look of it), so you’ll be loading a self-compiled out-of-tree kernel module. If you are running on a system using UEFISecure Boot, you may need to either disable Secure Boot or sign the kernel module before you can load it. (We won’t cover that here.)
To check the status of Secure Boot, run
Check Secure Boot Status
Output will be one of the following:
SecureBoot enabled
— using UEFI, Secure Boot enabledSecureBoot disabled
— using UEFI, Secure Boot disabledEFI variables are not supported on this system
— not using UEFI, Secure Boot disabled
Driver Installation
Kali Linux
For those who are running Kali Linux ARM Image on Raspberry Pi, the driver should be installed already.
For x86 users, install package
