TL-WN722N is plug and play? Not for me. Any help appreciated.
Hello all,
I am yet another clueless newbie trying to learn kali. I bought the tp-link TL-WN722N since it was supposed to work out of the box, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get Kali to recognize it!
I checked out the "Troubleshooting Wireless Drivers" sticky, and I also used the search function to check other threads before I posted. The problem is that the solutions in other threads either don't work for me, or I don't understand the language and how-to's of some of the solutions. I hereby open this thread so that I may ask the questions I need to to get this working.
First things first, I am running Kali on a macbook pro retina 2012 in parallels 9.
Here are the results of some commonly recommended diagnostic steps:

I have tried changing USB ports, I have messed around with settings in devices --> Network 1 in parallels (though I admittedly don't understand what I'm doing, just blind trial and error.)
Please treat me as though I am five years old. No intermediary steps are obvious to me at my current experience level, kali-wise. I'm willing to try anything to make this work for me! Thank you ahead of time.
