Installing Dongle Netgear A6150 drivers on Parrot OS 5.1

*-- Hello everyone. i am having trouble installing dongle WIFI Netgear A6150 drivers on my computer. I was able to install this drivers on an earlier version of Parrot OS 4.11 , but i upgraded to 5.1 and did a clean install. I was using the same command as version 4.11, but when i “make” i get an error message.

This is the command that i used to install the earlier version 4.11

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y dkms git bc
git clone -b v5.6.1 https://github.com/fastoe/RTL8812BU.git
cd RTL8812BU
make
sudo make install
sudo reboot

This is the error message i am getting from terminal when i tried to install it on version 5.1

Thanks in advance

you may need to install the patch for newer Kernels

Thanks for the response. How exactly do I go about that? I looked at my System Monitor and says it has Kernel Linux 5.18

Thanks for the reply, that did not work for me, but I was able to install these drivers instead GitHub - morrownr/88x2bu-20210702: Linux Driver for USB WiFi Adapters that are based on the RTL8812BU and RTL8822BU Chipsets - v5.13.1, and it worked for me.

Well done, anything with an RT chipset can be problematic
