Hi,
What do you see with 'ifconfig -a' ? |
There is a little change in my problem with wifi adapter when I use virtualbox it stops working i don't know what does that mean ? I installed virtualbox on my kali linux main OS
|
Okay, skipping the question of why you would use a pentesting distro as your main OS for a second, why do you expect your VirtualBox adapter settings to be an issue related to Kali? This title is slightly misleading IMHO

if you don't give answers you won't get solution.
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ad-4175614092/ Did you install virtualbox inside your kali? Does your last post mean wifi works if you don't use virtualbox? Did you check any logfile? What do you see with 'ifconfig -a' ? |
A usb device can only be used by one system at a time. To use it in your kali vm make sure it is connected. Look at the VM devices->usb menu

Hi guys I solved the problem everything is working fine

I added the wifi adapter to the virtualbox USB settings and then I boot up the kali linux and from the devices menu I selected my wifi adapter and it worked fine in monitor mode And there was no need for any special code or driver
Thx for your guys help. Installing a hacking OS as a main OS there is nothing bad I just need to learn more about it and more practice. |
