Wireless Card: Alpha Network AWUS036H
ORACLE virtual box: Ver 4.3.6
I have been struggling to get my wireless card working. To this point I have downloaded and installed Kali on Virtual Box (VB.) Installed the Guest Additions, and set up my shared folder with Windows 8.
In VB I have set up a USB filter and have checked Enable USB controller, Enable USB 2.0(EHCI) Controller, and added the appropriate filter for my wireless adapter. During my attempts I have tried un-checking various boxes as some have said that the 2.0 controller may be an issue?
I have also gone into the Network tab of VB and selected the appropriate wireless device as Adapter #1. I have tried (2) different Adapter types from the drop down Paravirtulized and the Intel type.
After my VB is booted I go into the Devices\ USB Devices tab and select my wireless adapter. I generally get an error indicating "unable to attach to device." "Is busy with previous request." If I go through a process of unplugging my adapter, booting VB, plugging adapter back in, then out again, then in, I can sometimes click on the adapter without the error message. It makes a sound like it has attached to the adapter and indicates captured. However when I lsusb or iwconfig I don't see listed as usb nor any wireless extensions. During one of these plug in and out attempts, I saw VB say it was loading drivers for the adapter. I almost pooped myself as I thought it was working, but same output from lsusb and iwconfig.
Have test adapter on windows and it works. I did some research prior to purchase of this adapter and found a lot of people have had success with it. I have to be at work in 5 hours and am full of hate.
I am hoping someone has had similar issues and could offer a hand. Thanks!!!!
