Hello, im trying to install the Mange driver, because rtl8xxxu gives me shitty range and speed.
.
Here is the github for Mange driver: Mange
Instructions start at the title “Building and installing DKMS”
.
.
As you can see it asks you to install DKMS and other required tools with “sudo apt-get install git linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms”. I cant do this because i dont find linux-headers generic(i have everything else installed and updated), so i “apt search linux-headers-generic | grep parrot | grep -v i386” and i dont seem to be missing anything. Only thing that catches my eye is “linux-headers-5.3.0-3parrot3-all-amd64” which does not figure Installed but i dont want to download such a packet ‘just to try’ and brick or introduce noise to my system (correct me if my preocupation is wrong).
.
.
So i follow the instructions everything goes butter smooth until sudo dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0, which throws:
Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping…

‘make’ all KVER=5.3.0-3parrot3-amd64…

DKMS: Install Failed (mkinitrd problems). Module rolled back to built state.
I have highlighted the errors. The one indicating the trouble seems to be update-initramfs......(bad exit status: 1). I dont know how to proceed, the documentation online doesnt really helped me, i tried using m-a and other tools but with no help.
How do i proceed?
Thanks in advance, i’ll leave some info below, specially the model of the USB wifi antenna.
