TP-Link DWA-171 not working on Virtual Box - Kali
Good day,
Kernel version:
uname -r
5.18.0-kali2-amd64
Already did sudo apt update
And also sudo apt full-upgrade
Source of it is the kali-rolling
I have an issue with getting my DWA-171 wifi adapter to work on Kali on Oracle VBox
I have followed some threads on getting this resolved but with no luck at all :(
Problem getting D-Link DWA 171 to work - Linux Mint Forums
I also tried with rtl8812au.ko and pasted it in /lib/modules/5.18.0-kali2-amd64/kernel/net/wireless/ - and then reboot but with no luck again
I have tried with manual install and copy the ko file into the correct path and reboot the kali VM as well as unplug - re-plug the USB but still nothing: The light on the USB doesn t turn on.
On the network icon it doesn t even show wifi
I have tried the usb switch but still no luck getting messages below:
# sudo usb_modeswitch -KW -v 2001 -p 331d
Take all parameters from the command line
* usb_modeswitch: handle USB devices with multiple modes

** In my virtual machine Kali I have added the DWA-171 usb which it does see it and turned it on from USB side
I ran then a lsusb and i got the below
rfkill list && lsusb && mokutil --sb-state
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 2001:331d D-Link Corp. DWA-171
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 8087:0a2a Intel Corp. Bluetooth wireless interface
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:0153 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 3-in-1 (SD/SDHC/SDXC) Card Reader
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 80ee:0021 VirtualBox USB Tablet
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
EFI variables are not supported on this system
So it looks like the virtual machine and kali does see the bus
However the wi-fi is not on and as if it doesn't see it:
iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
I feel like i am missing something...but not sure what or how to fix
Help would be greatly appreciated.
