Hello, i recently bought a TL-WN725N usb wireless adapter. It works normally on Windows 10, but it has problems on Kali Linux. I'm running Kali through VirtualBox from Windows 10 Host. When i try to connect, it usually lists the networks but doesn't connect (Sometimes it can't find any networks). For like 20-30 seconds it's trying to connect, but then it just stops without any error message. I also installed WICD network manager. WICD could connect several times, but the connection dropped after several seconds.
Kali Version - Kali GNU/Linux Rolling
Kernel - 4.7.0-kali1-amd64
Host OS - Windows 10 Pro (14931)
Wireless Adapter - TL-WN725N
Virtualization Software - VirtualBox 5.1.8
