First post, and v new to Linux/Kali, so bear with me, but I can't get the above USB wireless adapter to be recognised by Kali, even though it's recognised and connected in VM, having disconnected from host (and separately works fine on host Win7).
The adapter shows up in lsusb, but don't know what I can do to get it working. Others seem to have had trouble with this adapter before, although one member said they had v1 working without issue, and it's the chipset in v2 that isn't compatible, but very grateful for any suggestions. According to Device Manager, the adapter is working with latest Broadcom/netgear driver.
Cheers!
