Hello guys! If you can give advice on the topic of the problem, then I will be very grateful. Subject: Setting up a network (wifi) connection on a virtual machine (Virtualbox) on kali linux. I’ve tried many ways to do this without an external network adapter that needs to be plugged into the USB port. As a result, I bought an alpha adapter, but I can’t connect through it either. Gives an error: I am already in deep despair, because I have been suffering with the Kali setup for 2 months. If I’m so dumb on the usual adapter setting, then what can I talk about? What exactly am I doing wrong? It is important to add that there is Wifi on kali, thanks to the connection via Windows, but kali itself does not recognize the internal network, which means that all network-connected tools do not work.
I’m not quite understand what are you implying here. But you’ll need an external adapter to access wifi in a kali vm. Also note that the adapter must be well supported by linux. Try to avoid realtek one as they offer garbage linux support. Here is the recommended list of adapters that you may buy USB-WiFi/home/The_Short_List.md at main · morrownr/USB-WiFi · GitHub .
I use the alfa awus036nh wifi adapter. As far as I know, they are well compatible with kali. But, the virtual machine refuses to accept it and throws an error: “Failed to connect the Realtek Semiconductor Corp. USB device to the KALI virtual machine. USB device ‘Realtek Semiconductor Corp.’ with UUID {5e4cb18c-9f80-4467-a996-0a16d64d1ef1} is busy with a previous request. Please try again later. Error code: E_INVALIDARG (0x80070057) Component: HostUSBDeviceWrap Interface: IHostUSBDevice {c19073dd-cc7b-431b-98b2-951fda8eab89} Interface Called: IConsole {6ac83d89-6ee7-4e33-8ae6-b257b2e81be8}”
As a result, all kali network tools are not available to me
Stop using the adapter on the host system while you are telling Virtualbox to pass it through. Also note that your vm in virtualbox has it’s own settings for USB versions (usb3, usb2, usb 1.1). I do not know what they are currently set to, but you might want to cycle through them.
Lastly - there is no way you tried this for 2 months now and have no further information about this.
