Post by DynAudio »

Hi lads, i was thinking is there any possibility to use my hardware in virtual environment ??
I have laptop with (Atheros Killer Wireless-N 1202 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi Controller w/Bluetooth v4.0 (2.4 and 5.0 GHz)) on board, and i use virtual KALI distribution.

No. Sorry to break the bad news to you, but so far the answer is a simple, astounding "No way".
