To use the TP-Link Archer TX50UH (Wi-Fi 6 / 802.11ax USB adapter) in Kali Linux, you need to make sure Linux has a compatible driver for its chipset. Here’s a concise guide:
1. Identify the Chipset
-
Open a terminal and run:
lsusb
-
Look for an entry like “TP-Link Archer TX50UH”.
-
Most TX50UH adapters use the Realtek RTL8852AE or RTL8852BU chipset.
2. Check Kernel Support
-
Kali Linux kernels ≥ 6.x often include Realtek 8852BU drivers, but older kernels may need manual installation.
-
Check your kernel version:
uname -r
3. Install Required Packages
sudo apt update sudo apt install -y git build-essential dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)
4. Download and Compile Driver
-
For RTL8852BU, TP-Link provides Linux drivers, or you can use a community driver:
git clone https://github.com/cilynx/rtl88x2bu.git cd rtl88x2bu sudo ./deploy.sh
-
This uses DKMS, so the driver persists after kernel updates.
5. Load the Driver
sudo modprobe 88x2bu
-
Verify with:
iwconfig
or
ip link show
You should see a new wireless interface (e.g., wlan0 or wlan1).
6. Connect to Wi-Fi
-
Use NetworkManager,
nmcli, orwpa_supplicantto connect to Wi-Fi networks.
