Hello, I recently purchased a TP Link TL-Wn722n USB Wireless Adapter for some penetration testing. I thought that the setup and everything would be simple, but I don't know what is going wrong? I've setup my network settings for bridged adapter and everything, and then I connect the USB Adapter to the VM. Upon doing this though, the green blinking light on the adapter stops blinking (possible problem?). Anyways, I run ifconfig and it doesn't show any wlan0 interface. In addition, iwconfig shows no wireless extensions.
The LSUSB command shows:
Code:
LSUSB:
device 002: ID 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR9271 802.11n
When I run #dmesg | tail it says:
Code:
dmesg | tail:
ath9k_htc: Firmware htc_9271.fw requested
registered new interface driver ath9k_htc
ath9k_htc: Firmware - htc_9271.fw download failed
ath9k_hts: USB layer deinitialized
I've checked in my /lib/firmware file for both the ar9721.fw and the htc_9271.fw files, and they're both there.
Not sure if this is relevant, but my kernel version as displayed through the command uname -v is:
Code:
#1 SMP Debian 3.\.2-0+kali8
uname -a
Code:
Linux Kali-VM 3.7-trunk-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.7.2-0+kali8 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I'm running Kali Linux as a Virtual Machine in VirtualBox. Any helps, tips, or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in Advance!!
