Trouble with wg111v2 not being detected

Looked all over and just can't seem to find why I can't get my wg111v2 usb wifi dongle to work with kali (or backtrack 5 r3, r1). It seems to connect fine in vmware but I can't use it at all in kali.

lsusb gives me:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1385:5f01 Netgear, Inc WPN111 (no firmware)

airmon-ng gives me nothing:
Interface Chipset Driver

I've tried this in both vmware and liveusb. Is there something I should do in vmware settings?
I've also tried connecting/disconnecting. Everything I can think of or find on google. Just won't work!

The dongle works perfectly fine in windows. Using windows 8.

Any ideas? I'm stumped.

What is the output for iwconfig & dmesg (wlan related)?

My wg111v2 works great in BT as in Kali (fresh install, no extra configuration needed)

dmesg gave me:

Code:

---

firmware: failed to load isl3887usb

---

This worked for me:

Code:

---

apt-get install ca-certificates
wget -O /lib/firmware/isl3886usb https://daemonizer.de/prism54/prism54-fw/fw-usb/2.13.1.0.lm86.arm
modprobe -r p54usb ; modprobe p54usb
