I can't get Kali 2.0 to see my AWUS036AC wireless card and I'm not sure how to resolve it. I have it running in a VMWare Fusion VM and can see it when I run "lsusb" ... BUT, when I run ifconfig or iwconfig I don't see the interface. Is there a resolution or is this adapter just plain old problematic with Kali???

See details below:


Kali Version : 2.0
Kali Architecture 64 bit arm
Specific hardware: Macbook Pro running VMWare Fusion.
Any visible error messages: None

Here is what I see via dmesg | tail and lsusb:
