According to your previous post...

Code: Select all

wlp0s20u3  IEEE 802.11bgn  ESSID:"G2_8114"  Nickname:"<WIFI@REALTEK>"
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.437 GHz  Access Point: C4:9A:02:65:98:A8   
You have a realtek adapter. This is shown in the lsusb from the guest. If you have a second adapter I don't see it, but in any case even if it is unnamed the device shows in the guest lsusb as you see it there. I still say this is a guest issue. Also remember that kali does not support every type of wifi adapter so you need to confirm that they support yours. Have you asked them about this yet?

Note: remember that usb devices are not shareable they are a one-to-one device and since it is a hardware device you should not enable the network stack in VirtualBox settings as it might confuse the guest.

USB 2357:010c is a TP-LINK TL-WN722N which uses a Realtek RTL8188EUS chipset.
With the number of problem descriptions I've found in Google, this device seems to be very problematic with Linux.
