What have you tried: I have installed Kali on Virtual Box.

What is the error: iwconfig does not show the home wifi
└─$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

I am a beginner. I want to try aircrackng suite. I had run Kali from a USB stick on another laptop where I could see all wireless connections, but am not getting it on Virtual Box Kali.

What device is this on: Kali on Virtual Box in Windows 11

Your virtualbox runs entirely on virtual hardware.. virtual cpu, virtual gpu, virtual network card.

Even if your host machine uses wifi, the VM will just see a virtual ethernet card.

I workaround would be to use an usb wifi adapter, and tell virtualbox to pass it through to the virtual machine.

A supported usb wifi card.
