Kali installation : VM virtualbox

You need to disconnect the device from your host and connect it to the guest... Look at the top of the Virtualbox window, click Devices, then USB devices and click your adapter. It should be something like "USB 0004 wifi adapter" or something like that.

I already did it, it connect successfully to the guest and disconnect properly of the host. see the result of lsusb kali linux detected it.
I also tried the same usb card on a windows 7, XP guest and it worked so I think the problem come from Kali.

Try following the first few steps here to make sure you have a driver installed.

ok I did it, but I had errors while running make. this is unfortunatly still not working.
but this key work in live CD so I think the driver is correctly install?

I tried again and this time I saw this on dmesg :

[ 1759.320122] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd
[ 1759.770327] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=07d1, idProduct=3a09

[ 1760.740198] usb 1-1: firmware upload failed (-110).

so it's seems that the firmware is having troubles?

Depends what version of DW-160! The DW-160 B1 and B2 have RT5572 chipsets I believe and that link is for the DW-160 A1 and A2.

I have a B2 and have tried many compile settings with both of these:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kern...-rc3-1.tar.bz2

I've read these:

I haven't been able to get anything even remotely usable from my DW-160 B2 on Kali yet.

Oops, I just noticed in OP lsusb it says he has the A2. Sry, my bad. Shoul I start a new thread regarding the b2?
