Kali Linux Virtual Box and the AWUS1900 USB WiFi Adapter

This is a continuation of the previous post.  Now that WiFi is enabled in the Kali Linux virtual machine.  I have to log out, shutdown the machine and then plug in the AWUS1900 into the Windows host with the appropriate driver already installed from https://store.rokland.com/pages/rokland-technologies-support..

After Windows recognizes the AWUS1900 adapter,  I return to the Virtual Box setting for USB and add a USB 3.0 controller for "Realtek 80211ac NIC".

Then I unplug the WiFi Adapter and start the Kali Linux Virtual machine.

Inside the Kali Linux Virtual machine I open a browser and follow  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81bWw7VOlVA&feature=youtu.be to install the AWUS1900 Linux Drivers.

Then I plug back in the AWUS1900 WiFi adapter and after left clicking the network connection icon at the top of the Kali desktop screen, I see available networks.

Hallelujah, sweet Mary, mother of Jesus.
