I have tried installing the TP-Link Archer 2TUH but whenever I got to terminal with the drivers and type "make" get a bunch of errors saying 

"root@f1nd3r:~/Desktop/Archer_T2UH_V1_150909# make
make -C UTIL/ osutil
make[1]: Entering directory '/root/Desktop/Archer_T2UH_V1_150909/UTIL'
cp -f os/linux/Makefile.6.util /root/Desktop/Archer_T2UH_V1_150909/UTIL/os/linux/Makefile
make -C /lib/modules/4.6.0-kali1-amd64/build SUBDIRS=/root/Desktop/Archer_T2UH_V1_150909/UTIL/os/linux modules
make[2]: Entering directory '/root/Desktop/Archer_T2UH_V1_150909/UTIL'
make[2]: *** /lib/modules/4.6.0-kali1-amd64/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory '/root/Desktop/Archer_T2UH_V1_150909/UTIL'

make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/Desktop/Archer_T2UH_V1_150909/UTIL'
Makefile:3: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2"

Is there a fix for this? Thank you :)

Luckily, I have an answer to this question. You have to install kernel headers.

apt-get install linux-headers-amd64

That was my situation before, and now you'll face the same error as me, btw let me know if not:

make -C UTIL/ osutil

  • Looks like this can be the solutionI've got the patch file, but not sure how to get it working - I've copied it to lib/modules/4.8.0-kali-amd64/kernel – yesimxev Nov 23 '16 at 12:52
  • Looks like this can be the solution [link](http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/320470/apply-kernel-patch-to-support-pic-mode) I've got the patch file, but not sure how to get it installed - I've copied it to lib/modules/4.8.0-kali-amd64/kernel and tried the command patch -p1 but it seems like just hanging. I can't comment on that page to ask how to, as I don't have 50reps.. @SpaceGoat – yesimxev Nov 23 '16 at 12:56
