TP-Link WN722n Not Detected by VirtualBox

[Acrillix]

Hello.

I am taking a course on Udemy Online about Network Security. The course instructs me to purchase a Network Adapter for detecting Wireless Networks and to perform certain tasks. So I purchased a TP-Link WN722n which was recommended on several sites for this specific setup. Let me tell you my setup first...

I have Ubuntu 16.10 (YakketyYak) installed as my Host Machine. It is fully updated and working just OK. NOTE: The Wireless Adapter is detected by the Host and does work well.

I have VirtualBox Graphical User Interface Version 5.1.6_Ubuntu r110634 installed and fully updated. I also have USB Extension Pack installed.

I have Kali Linux 2016.2 installed as a .iso file and is installed via Graphical Interface (NOT LIVE).

I do have Guest Additions installed and working properly.

I am running into an issue where when I go to Settings>Network>Adapter 1 it does properly show NAT Network which is attached to NatNetwork. My 'Advanced' settings are:
Adapter Type: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)
Promiscuous Mode: Deny
MAC Address: 0800276E1527
Cable Connected: Yes

HOWEVER when going to Settings>USB>USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller there are NO detected USB's plugged in.

And I am waiting until Kali has fully booted before inserting the Network Adapter and it still does not show.

I ran

iwconfig
and both eth0 and lo show "No wireless extensions".
I ran

lsusb
and show:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub | Bus 002 Device 001: OD 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub


I just don't know where to go now...
PLEASE help me, I have been working on this for about 15 hours (since 3am) and several re-installs, updating, upgrading, changing etc...

Thanks in advance,
Acrillix

does your wifi adapter is detected by the host? if yes have you shared it with the vm?start be sure the issue didn't come from the host first then look if it come from kali
