HELP - Problem with 'airodump-ng' showing no results (TP-LINK TL-WN321G V4 / VMware)

[joinclues]

Hi, I'm very new in linux, just decided to learn about pentests, security, etc. I followed some tutorials on youtube and google, but I stuck on 'airodump-ng' step, showing no results. I spent days trying to find a solution so I gave up searching and came here to ask for some help.

Following the 'How To Make A Valid Thread', here are some information...

My notebook is a Dell I14-3443-A4 running windows 10. Using the last Kali Linux for VMware (Kali-Linux-2016.1-vm-amd64), last version of VMware either. My device is TP-LINK TL-WN321G V4 (I didnt find on the internet the linux driver for this version 4)

Some commands...

iwconfig

root@kali:~# iwconfig
eth0 no wireless extensions.

wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off

lo no wireless extensions.


airmon-ng

root@kali:~# airmon-ng

airmon-ng start wlan0

root@kali:~# airmon-ng start wlan0

Found 3 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to run 'airmon-ng check kill'

I really tried a lot of suggestions found in some similar threads found on google, but no results :(

Thanks for any help

So when you run:

airodump-ng wlan0mon
What does it say?

Try:

aircrack-ng check kill
airmon-ng check kill
airmon-ng start wlan0
airodump-ng wlan0mon


After you installed you ran:

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

Try configuring your settings in VMware to use USB 3.0. See if that makes a difference.

i reinstalled kali in a new virtual machine, used 'apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade', installed vm-ware-tools, changed the tplink adapter to usb 3.0, enabled it like you said. and now i got some results
