Wireless adapter not showing up in terminal

[berap]

Hi Everyone,

I am running kali linux via Oracle virtual box

Kali version: 64bit light
Virtual box version: 5.1

I am having trouble because my terminal cannot detect my Wifi adapter TPLINK TL-WN722N

iwconfig

eth0      no wireless extensions.
lo        no wireless extensions.

ifconfig

eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

airmon-ng check

ls: cannot access '/sys/class/ieee80211/': No such file or directory

Found 2 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've been searching in Google and still no luck, any help would be much greatly appreciated!

P.S I am very new to kali linux.

While I don't do wireless work in a Kali VM, I'd check to make sure the VM can see the wireless devices. I believe there's a menu setting in VirtualBox, and VMWare that you have to use to activate the device inside the virtual machine.

@gris I've tried it still no luck.

@grid...i have done these settings but i think flaw is with the drivers that are to be installed initially....will u please tell how did u install those....as apart from airmon-ng,crunch is not working even....

Also have this issue - ever since 5.0.26. VB 5.0.24 seems to be the last version that works OK with USB devices.
Mine actually crashes if you connect the USB device to the VM and the try to disconnect it or close VB.

I can see the device listed in the USB section of the menu and after I connect the device to the vm when I run lsusb, but no interface in ifconfig.
I reverted back to 5.0.24 which resolved the problem. (It also works OK in the earlier 5.0.20).
