Are you using a wifi card attached to the VM? With a normal config, a VM will use eth0 for its connection to the host. You need a usb wifi card attached to the VM.

as @gamb1t said you should use an external wifi adapter e.g tp-link tl 725n …For wireless assessments.

tp-link tl 725n
please don’t recommend realtek chipsets.
## Recommended Adapters for Kali Linux
Kali and other distros used for pen testing, security analysis and other
monitor mode work need usb wifi adapters that have drivers
that do an excellent job of supporting monitor mode. This list of
adapters is based on many conversations and a lot of testing. There are
other adapters that may work but this list is designed to be a list of
the best adapters that are available for purchase new at this time at
reasonable prices.
Note: The adapter that best meets your needs can depend on exactly what
you plan to do so asking questions is a good idea.
Note: Specific Realtek WiFi 5 based adapters will likely be added to this
list over the next few months as testing is completed. This will likely
include adapters based on the Realtek rtl8812au, rtl8821/11au (kernel 6.14)
chips and the rtl8814au (kernel 6.15) chip. This is possible due to standards
compliant drivers being added to the rtw88 driver series with kernels 6.14
and 6.15.
