[cosmin11111]

Hi, i just installed Kali Linux using VMware workstation and i have one big problem. My wifi adapter is not recognized.
When i use command: lsusb i get:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR9271 802.11n
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0e0f:0003 VMware, Inc. Virtual Mouse
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0e0f:0002 VMware, Inc. Virtual USB Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Using: iwconfig command ,i get:

eth0 no wireless extensions.

lo no wireless extensions.

Using airmon-ng command i get:

Interface Chipset Driver

I put a last firmware to lib/firmware, but nothing still not work !!!

Make sure your usb device is disconnected from the host and connected to the guest. http://www.vmware.com/support/ws45/d...es_usb_ws.html
Also, internal network cards will not work with a virtual machine. You will either need to buy a USB adapter (I recommend the Alfa AWUS036H) or you need to install Kali onto your hard drive.

I have got right now one ar9271 plugged and it was recognized out of the box ( kali installed on hard drive )

kcdtv@noname4u:~$ sudo airmon-ng


Interface	Chipset		Driver

wlan0		Ralink 2573 USB	rt73usb - [phy1]
wlan4		Atheros AR9271	ath9k - [phy2]
wlan1		Ralink RT2870/3070	rt2800usb - [phy0]

kcdtv@noname4u:~$ sudo airmon-ng start wlan4


Found 4 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!
-e 
PID	Name
2500	NetworkManager
2691	wpa_supplicant
3101	dhclient
3373	dhclient
Process with PID 3373 (dhclient) is running on interface wlan1

				(monitor mode enabled on mon0)
wlan1		Ralink RT2870/3070	rt2800usb - [phy0]

So the problem is realy linked to your virtual machine settings

Correct. I have the same problem with VMware

00:09:29 Couldn't determine current channel for mon0, you should either force the operation with --ignore-negative-one or apply a kernel patch

even if i use --ignore-negative-one doesn't works.
Need help from the pros thank you...
