Hello I am running kali2.0 on virtualbox
I have installed ra3070 wireless adapter through usb. Device can be seen and listed in usb devices.
I installed the driver throguth apt-get install firmware-ralink

I tried multiple solutions including manually compiling the drivers however I still cant see the available networks. I also tried increasing tx pwer to 30dBm but no change.
Any help is appreciated. I want to use the adapter for wifi tools. I can put it in monitor mode with airmon-ng and start monitoring but no ssids are displayed. Help pls

COmmand outputs are as below:
