Hello,

Full disclosure: I am completely new to this forum and to Kali Linux. My main objective is to get Kali to recognize my Netgear WNDA3100v2 USB wireless adapter so it appears after running airmon-ng. I previously used a WNA3100 Netgear wireless adapter and Kali had no problems recognizing it upon startup. My son stepped on it so I had to buy the WNDA3100v2.

- I am running Kali via Vmware player/workstation as a guest OS on Windows XP.

- I have tried 3 other wireless adapters as well, but continue to receive the same driver error when I disconnect it from the host and try to connect to Kali / Vmware.

- I have searched google and your forums high and low. I have tried every suggestion that was relative to my issue, to no avail, obviously. I tried entering: ifconfig WLAN0 up, etc.

How do I get Kali / Vmware to recognize my wireless adapter?

I know I haven't probably supplied all the information you would need, so please let me know what else you would need to know to help diagnose.

Thanks for any help!
