Same exact problem. No solution that I've found has worked for me...

Try plugging it in after boot up and testing the power to it...

same exact card
same exact problem
no solution yet.. I usually have to power down the machine running on Virtual Box or deactivated it .
sucks

Hello,
Looks like in Kali Linux no more tx power 30 by default for Bolivian region. Anyway try this tread

You can try to set default region Venezuela.( iw reg set VE )

There is a new Regdomain in Kali.

I used another guide, they are quite similar but this one is newer. Anyway it worked out great.

How do we set the region to VE?
Thanks!

First try:

iw reg set VE


and check:

iw reg get



To make the change permanent, edit the file /etc/default/crda and it has a line:

REGDOMAIN=

Change that to

REGDOMAIN=VE
