What have you tried: i tried looking for solutions here on the forum
What device is this on: vm on windows 11
im new to kali and have learned quite a bit but still a long way to go. need help setting up my asus usb wifi 6 adapter. and even a shared connection with my stock wifi.
you need to check which chipset is present on the adapter. Then google and check if the chipset is well supported by linux.
Pretty much just forget about wifi in vmware, especially “shared connection”.
If this is about internet connectivity, just NAT the virtual machine and let the host use the wifi, if necessary. If this is about “No I wanna hack wifi” then
a) Ugh…
b) Youtube is lying to you, those videos are staged to work
c) most somewhat modern hardware and even mediocre passwords will stop you right away
d) If you still think you would like to waste time and money, get a recommended adapter from the list
Only the chipset matters, not the brand. Yes, those are not among the cheapest alternatives, and if you want to use a different one (realtek, looking at you) you can look for a solution on your own, it’s a waste of time to begin this journey into wifi hacking, and doubly so a waste of time to help other people waste their time with it.
Tell vmware to pipe through the usb device to the kali vm, forget about bridged connections. Make sure the usb compatibility is set correctly.
Enjoy your waste of time.
Ugh..

first u need to check your vm is enable usb controller if it not then enable it
- Open VirtualBox, select your Kali Linux VM, and click on Settings.
- In the left menu, select USB.
- Enable **USB Controller
to check your wifi usb is connected or not
