Hello,
I have a problem with getting my wireless USB adapter (ALFA USB WIFI AWUS036NEH) to work in my Kali VM, connected it to VM as an USB Device.
I run Kali with VirtualBox (Windows 8.1 Host).
The device seems to be down, and I can't get it up...
Or at least I can't scan for any networks. The device works fine on Windows.
I guess it's a driver problem, but I'm stuck and don't know what to do next.
also possibly relevant dmesg:Code:# uname -a Linux vmk 4.3.0-kali1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.3.5-1kali1 (2016-02-11) x86_64 GNU/Linux # lsusb | grep Ralink Bus 001 Device 002: ID 148f:3070 Ralink Technology, Corp.
