Set Up WiFi Adapter in Kali Linux Virtual Box

 Here are all steps that I took to get the external WiFi USB adapter to be recognized inside Kali Linux Virtual Box.

1. First plug in USB adapter into Windows and install the approriate Windows driver

2. After confirming that Windows is using the adapter, unplug it from the USB port

3. Start Virtual box with ext already installed and import Kali linux OVA file

4. Select the USB 3.0 controller for the USB device

5. Start the imported appliance for Kali

6. After fully started:

$ sudo bash

$ mkdir /etc/gcrypt

$ echo all >> /etc/gcrypt/hwf.deny

$ sudo apt-get update

(See previous post on what the above commands accomplish)

7. Then get Linux driver for my AWUS1900 WiFi Adapter
