WiFi troubleshooting : DWL-G132 (no firmware) [Atheros AR5523]

Hi all,
I have tried to make a DWL-G132 [Atheros AR5523] work for a lot of time.

I am currently running

DISTRIB_RELEASE=kali-rolling
DISTRIB_CODENAME=kali-rolling
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Kali GNU/Linux Rolling"

BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.kali.org/"

on VMware 14

I have installer the atheros drivers.

lsusb returns:

dmesg returns::

Any help would be appreciated

I can't stress enough how important it is to read the error messages, as they often tell you exactly what's wrong. In this specific case, on top of it, if you follow the link you show in the dmesg output, then search for ar5523 on that page, then click on its link, it will tell you that you need firmware-atheros package: https://packages.debian.org/search?s...rds=ar5523.bin

so, run "apt-get install firmware-atheros" then reboot
