    kali linux didn't recognize wireless networks

    Hi,
    i'm new in kali linux.
    i have an issue with the wifi connections.
    installing the newwst version of kali from the official website on virtual box.
    plug the USB wireless adapter (TP-LINK).
    also, i noticed wlan0 on #ifconfig command.
    on the network setting configure NAT (also tried with NAT bridged)

    my problem is that - i cannot see any wireless networks.
    i followed few guides from youtube and here but with no luck.
    it show me that i'm wired connected.
    i attached screenshot bellow.
    please kindly assist me.

    additional information:
    #airmon-ng start wlan0
    when i type #ifconfig, i saw that wlan0 changed to wlan0mon
    and with#airodump-ng command on wlan0mon i didn't see any wireless network as well

    When I run into this problem, in where wlan shows in ifconfig but doesn't acquire an ip addy, I go to network connections (GUI) and manually enter then wifi settings; SSID, password, security. Works everytime. I'd like to know if there is a CLI command or another way to do this, but this is quick and easy.
