My usb wifi card doesn't seem to work (iwlist/airodump)

Hello

I've just bought an Alfa AWUS036NH and installed RT3070 drivers on my virtual machine Kali.

ifconfig :

Code:

---

root@kali:~# ifconfig wlan0
wlan0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0d:b0:00:fb:9e 
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

iwconfig:

Code:

And when I try a Iwlist wlan0 scanning, it just says "No scan results".

My wifi card works good in my host system (Win8.1/64bits)...

I appreciate your help, I'm lost...

Noone had the same problem ?

I'm googling this issue since yesterday, and I still don't find solution...

check out the driver . maybe the drivers for the usb wifi chipset is not right .

That's why I thought too, but I tested with many drivers ...
Anyone could give me a link with the correct drivers which worked ?

An other question : How could I desactive enabled module listed in "lsmod", with the modprobe -r command ? Could I desactivate all usb drivers in one command ?

that should work out the box, can you post your terminal output after you try iwlist?

I have the same problem with my Awus036H -
I am running a Kali Liveboot USB on PC, MacMini and through Parallels on Macbook Air and I have to:

ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig wlan0 up

then

iwlist wlan0 scanning

Thats when it works.

Give that a try....


I also have been unable to use ip set wlan0 up/down with any success yet it communicates through ifconfig - Anybody have any ideas on that?
