Another USB issue
Posted: 11. Jun 2021, 00:50
I have an Alfa AWUS036ACH and it is not recognized within VirtualBox running on an Ubuntu (20.04 LTS) host. I have followed instructions in a number of threads, but nothing seems to remedy the situation. The USB WiFi adapter is recognized by the host OS (but was manually disabled after testing)
My USB Webcam and USB Mouse both work without issue. I am stumped.
Below are the outputs requested on the USB Basics and Troubleshooting page. I have also zipped and attached the logs requested there...
