LinuxQuestions.org - TL-WDN3200 wireless adapter fails to connected to VMware Kali Linux

Heyall,

I am new with linux but recently decided to learn. I downloaded the VM of Kali Linux and trying to connect TPLink TL-WDN3200 USB wireless adapter. I think that default driver is not supported so need to build the supported driver. Google around and found the nice guideline at http://www.blackmoreops.com/2014/01/...pter-in-linux/
But I stumbled over the compiling step with following error.
Complile code

The wireless adapter can also be monitor as shown below, and airodump-ng also working fine.

The problems :
1. The wireless adapter is detected by kali and able to browse the available network, but is not able to connect to the router.
2. Please kindly help to how to solve the compile driver problem. Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Tito
