    Same exact problem. No solution that I've found has worked for me...

    Try plugging it in after boot up and testing the power to it...

    same exact card
    same exact problem
    no solution yet.. I usually have to power down the machine running on Virtual Box or deactivated it .
    sucks

    You can try to set default region Venezuela.( iw reg set VE )

    There is a new Regdomain in Kali.

    First try:

    iw reg set VE


    and check:

    iw reg get



    To make the change permanent, edit the file /etc/default/crda and it has a line:

    REGDOMAIN=

    Change that to

    REGDOMAIN=VE

    Change that to

    REGDOMAIN=VE

    are there any adverse effects?
