Failed to attach USB Device Realtek 802.11 NIC to virtual machine

Post by carutherford82 »

Hello all. I have been trying to figure this out on my own for a few days but to no avail. I purchased a TL-WN722N V3 TP-Link Nic for use with an ethical hacking course and after several attempts to try to connect the device I have been getting the same error.
Failed to attach the USB device Realtek 802.11 NIC to the virtual machine.
Clicking on the error message gives me the following error details:
Failed to create a proxy device for the USB device. (Error: VERR_SHARING_VIOLATION).

SHARING_VIOLATION... Did you install any software on your Mac that works with that NIC? Is your Mac using it at the same time?

Please read the following thread: USB basics and troubleshooting, all of the posts. Especially "memorize" part 1.

If you still have a problem after reading through the whole thing, please follow the advice of the last post, #8: Asking for help and post the information requested. Except the "VBoxManage list usbhost" part of course...
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
