Hi @dahabk9-bit

It appears that you are using kernel 6.18 on Kali Linux. If so, this is not the driver that you want. I have not maintained this driver since the new in-kernel driver went in. The new driver is a much better driver. My recommendation is that you uninstall everything that you have attempted to install so that the in-kernel driver can take over:

To fully remove the driver in this repo:

sudo sh remove-driver.sh

Make sure that you reboot.

You will need to uninstall any other drivers you may have installed per their instructions. Then we can check. Please psot the results of:

dkms status

iw dev
