Hello, I installed on my MacBook the latest version of Kali Linux on a virtual machine, using VMware. I am looking to purchase a Wireless Adapter, so which one should I buy, considering that I am using a virtual machine on a mac? I was thinking to get the Alfa AWUS036NHA, but I read on the internet that many adapters may not work on a virtual machine installed on a mac. Can you suggest me a good wireless adapter that will for sure work in my conditions?

Thank you very much

Thank you for your answer. On that page is stated that "you can't use PCMCIA or PCI cards. You can ONLY use compatible USB wireless cards". So compatible USB wireless cards are all those indicated in the list at the beginning of the page?
Thanks

Right, and be sure to check the other links at the aircrack-ng.org site, too.

I personally prefer the Alfa model cards, but don't use them inside a VM.
