May 22, 2017 How to connect external Wifi Adapter on Vmware. On my harddrive then how to install drivers on kali linux. Pass the USB from the.

Im running Kali linux 64bit 1.07 as a guest os through virtualbox 4.3.12 r93733. Ive also installed the VirtualBox 4.3.12 Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack. I have bridged my hosts network connection (Intel(R) Wireless-N 7260) with Kali and I have set up the Alfa 036nha as a usb device for kali through virtualbox. Iwconfig in kali gives no wireless extensions. Ifconfig shows my bridged connection and Local loopback. Lsusb shows: Bus 001.

Atheros Communications, inc. AR9271 802.11n I thought that maybe it didnt have the right drivers so i tried to apt-get install firmware-atheros but it said that it was already installed. I really dont know what I should do here. Anyone care to help me out? You should now that Im not too good with Linux etc. Edit: I found this Which helped me getting the Alfa card to work in Kali. The trick was to add a new custom USB device in virtualbox where you just take the vendor ID and product ID from the alfa device and leave the other boxes blank.

So now when i run ifconfig i get that wlan0 is up (Alfa) but eth0 is down (Intel(R) Wireless-N 7260). Now however the problem is that when I plug in the Alfa device my network connection from my other wifi ceases to work (Intel(R) Wireless-N 7260) (the connection bridged from my host). It disconnects in the host aswell. If I connect to a wifi (with 7260) in the host with kali and alfa running the alfa stops working in kali. I want to have them both running. Anyone knows how to fix that? Andrew York Denouement Rarest there.

If anyone followed the video the OP posted, got wlan0 showing up in ifconfig but are stuck with the virtual box USB indicator blinking red From Youtube user Stas Sorokin posted in the Youtube comments of the video mentioned by the OP: The trick is to go to your kali settings in VB go to network, select 'enable network adapter' and the 'not attached' option then run virtual box with kali linux, then after kali loads connect the network adapter, and let it load. After half a minute go to Devices ->usb devices ->and select your adapter Then it should load.

To do wireless penetration testing with Kali Linux a compatible USB adapter / dongle is needed to be able to go into monitor mode, do packet injections, or be able to do the things necessary while wireless pen testing. When looking for an adapter that works with Kali it is the chipset of the adapter that enables it to do pen testing. It is the chipset of the adapter that controls whether it is compatible with Kali or not. Many of these chipsets are installed in different adapters and sold.

So if you come across a name brand adapter that has a kali Linux compatible chipset and then see the same chipset in another generic USB adapter most likely it will work. I will list examples of this at the bottom of the page. It is better to focus more on the chipset rather than the vendor model name. Whatever you do don’t buy a wireless G only USB adapter. Wireless G is useless unless you are only targeting wireless G routers and devices. Wireless N is backward compatible so it can be used on wireless G or N.
