Now visible networks using usb wireless vmware

1 Attachment(s)

Hi,
..of course it is "No visible networks using usb wireless vmware"...

I have latest kali linux on vmware on win7
I connected tl-link wn7200 wireless adapter and i can see the wireless icon in Kali but whne i try to connect to a network there are none visible,
I also diconnected the network connection to leave only wirless.
I tried to set:

Code:

ifconfig wlan0 up

but it always appear down

Code:

iwconfig eth0 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry short long limit:2 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off

i tried to set it up

Code:

sudo ifconfig wlan0 up ip link show

see image:

I tried to scan, i see the wifi blinking and i get:

Code:

root@kali:~# sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning wlan0 No scan results

when i reconnect the usb to the host i see the networks.

Pleae,
What can i do?

First of all, does the adapter work in Kali outside of a virtual machine? Personally, I've always found wireless in a VM to be problematic.

yes, as i've mentioned in the origial post: when i reconnect the usb to the host i see the networks.
it is working fine on the host machine

Look at dmesg, it might indicate there is something wrong. If using Virtualbox, did you install the extension pack for your CURRENT version?

Since you mention it's a VM, is the USB set to the correct version (2.0 or 3.0)?

What driver is it (airmon-ng can tell you)?

Thank you,
Yes I have the extension pack and it is usb 2.0 (this also happens on vmware)

I've attached the output of below.

the usb part is this:

there are some erros though at the end which may shed some light:

Hello, I am having the same problem...were you able to fix this?

Have you tried setting to USB 3.0?
