Hello,
I am really frustrated... first, the INVALID post I made initally was deleted... or at least I do not see it, and I just made another one, and I dont see it either cause i was logged out... from writing the post. So please bare with me as I may be a lil tested at this point.
I have a valid issue and wish to address a "friendly community" about it. I wish to only resolve this issue and move on. Thanks for any help, I greatly appreciate it!
I have installed a live version of Kali 2.0 on my ASUS R510D laptop running win 8.1, using VMWare as a VM machine. I have 8 gig ram, 2.5 gig cpu, quad core AMD A 10 with a HD radeon 8670M 2 GB dedicated gpu. I am running a Panda pauo5 wifi USB adapter that has the Ralink RT3070 Chipset installed. I believe those are all the specs you need to best understand my hardware, if not please ask in a reply? and I will update asap for you! thank you
My issue is i dont see my panda card once I type ifconfig in the termial. I can get Kali up and running and my VMWare setting are set to bridge the connection, replicate physical network connection state enabled, and in config adapters, only the ralink usb wifi card is enabled.
In Kali, I only see two connections in the network settings, one for wired, one for network proxy. I am basically stuck at this point. I am searching for MORE guides in pdf or whatever form to help, but Im running thin now. I have watched several youtube guides and such and I am doing all I know how. or have been shown how. So I need to ask specifically, to my issue. I appreciate the help guys I really do! Im looking forward to learning Linux and stepping away from windows and all that ****. Im a beginner and know very little about computers, but in general, I have operated them for over 15 years, and have a basic understanding how hardware works, I can overclock... for example, I just dont code or do anything specialized, yet.
In fact, recently I have been strongly motivated to learn more, and take some computer science classes in college. Which I have been watching free MIT open ware on YT, along with Eli the computer guy and others.... to help me get up to speed with basics.
