Linksys wusb6300 issues

[IndependenT]

I am currently having issues connecting to my wireless network here at home using a Linksys wusb6300. A few years ago i never had this problem when i first started using BackTrack. VMware/BT instantly recognized the USB and i was able to connect no problem via wifi.

I have the wifi adapter mounted to the VM but no access points show up HERE. Although it doesnt say wireless i have taken several steps to try and solve the issue from downloading compat wireless, getting the latest update via terminal to even watching videos on Youtube but i come up to a dead end.

Under:
ifconfig-a "eth0 and lo" are displayed not wlan0
lsusb: Bus 002 device 002 ID 13b1:003f Linksys <-----at least is recognizes the device...

Following YouTube tutorials doesn't not help resolve my issue. I have also read the wireless troubleshooting guidelines but im still stuck.

Obviously the only way i can connect to the internet via Linux is going wired under "eth0"

Any guidance would be helpful, thanks.

You could try restarting network manager:

sudo service network-manager stop
sudo service network-manager start

Or service network-manager restart
If you're in root (in kali you should be anyway) you don't need the sudo.

Did not work :/ On the top right it says "wired network "disconnected" - grayed out and VPN"
