    Using aircrack-ng

    I'm trying to learn to crack wpa's. i am trying to use "sudo airmon-ng start wlan0" but get "ls: cannot access /sys/class/ieee80211/: no such file or directory".
    I've done "sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng"
    I am fresh to kali linux and I've tried googling everything i can think of to fix this. I really need someone who can help, it will be very appreciative!!
    Also im using kali linux in a virtual machine.
    i have a windows 10 pc.

    if im understand the problem....
    you have kali installed on a vm = virtual machine....
    if that the case....
    you cant use the host wifi card ( the one who is in you computer) and you should buy one....
    so you can use from a usb....
    ........
    sorry for the bad english...
    ....
    tell me if it helps....
    kind regards

    $sudo iwconfig
    "eth0 no wireless extensions."
    "lo no wireless extenstions."

    $sudo iwlist
    "usage: iwlist [interface] scanning [essid NNN] [last]
    [interface] frequency
    [interface] channel
    [interface] bitrate
    [interface] rate
    [interface] encryption

    well the only problem running from a usb is that i want to use my actual computer at the same time. is there a way to use my computer in a vm from kali linux?

    you can use kali on a vm like you're doing, but looks like the only thing you are missing is a compatible wireless usb device that you would plug in to your host machine (win10) and then on vm environment you are using you will select to use that usb device and kali will recognize it as long as it is compatible with it... that famous search engine is your friend.

    What they are implying is that your current NIC is not compatable with Kali. So as akomos and au10tic said... you would need to buy a "USB WIFI Adapter". Before you do though, we should verify that your card is in fact not compatible. Goto your winblow... I mean windows terminal (command prompt). Now type...

    Code:
    netsh wlan show drivers
    Now post result.

    I am sorry but, your WIFI adapter is not supported. You will need to acquire a compatible WIFI adapter. Here is a list devices that tells you how compatible, if at all, devices are. Use it during your search online or in the store. Also note how the list is divided into sections i.e. USB, PCMCIA, PCI, etc:

    I've just purchased on Amazon this one
    TP-LINK TL-WN722N
    This should work considering what this site reports
