When you start the VM, the adapter should 'unplug' from the host OS and the guest should be able to see it directly. In the VBox manager, select the VM and go to Settings -> USB then add a new USB filter for the WiFi adapter. If it's a USB adapter, your best bet would be to use the USB passthrough functionality in VirtualBox then load the appropriate driver for the USB adapter in Linux. So you want to access the WiFi adapter directly rather than simply connecting the guest to a network. Well im using a wireless network adapter on the host and all i want to do is to use a wireless adapter in the VB but i only get wired options and not a single wireless connection option Thanks but no luck still wont find any kind of wireless connection Now try the airmon-ng command again, you should see you wifi card(s) lised now. this will unzip the file contents onto/into a folder the /Desktop called 'compat-wireless-2010-06-p' see if your wifi card is listed, most likely not, follow these steps:Ģ.

Open a terminal as root, and type this to start with I had same problem, and I used the Jun 26 '06-26' 2010.not the 6-27.maybe worth a try.įind this file '2'Ē010-Jun-26 21:02:37Ē.4M application/octet-streamĭownload and save to Desktop, its a. I also have Connectify and the Realtek utility installed on my PC, and yes I tried with those two disabled and it doesn't work either.USB Wi-Fi cards are best for use with VM Kali implementation, just easier (in my experience anyway)

I really don't understand why it is working for everybody, but not me ^^ Virtualbox's USB Icon flashed red once, then green, then the dot disappears and Kali doesn't detect any USB adapter. Thing is, I hear the Windows USB on sound, but Windows doesn't use it for network (which is supposed to happen). So I installed the Virtualbox extension pack, made a USB filter for my adapter, then before starting the VM I unplug my WIFI adapter (which is the only one I have on my PC btw), I wait for the VM to start, login to Kali, and then replug it. VirtualBox seems to pick it up for a second and then nothing happens. Thing is, every tutorial has the same method, and it doesn't work for me. I recently bought a USB WIFI adapter (Realtek RTL8812au), and I'm trying to USB passthrough the adapter to my Kali VM. I'm trying to make Kali Linux run under Virtualbox, with my Windows 10 PC.
