Hello guys!

I just joined this Forum because of a Problem driving me crazy. I installed on my Windows 10 Virtualbox and ran Kali linux. After a few reinstalls of Kali Linux everything was working. I had Internet and my tp-link tl-wn722n was also working. Then I installed a programm called wifiphisher and after a reboot suddenly both cards werent working. Nor the integrated nor the tp-link tl-wn722n. After trying to fix this for a long time I just decided to make a fresh install. But even after the fresh install I have no Wifi sign in the upper corner of linux. It shows a cable and when I click on it, it says Im connected through an Ethernet Cable even though I just use Wifi (im on a laptop) Anyway I think maybe Virtualbox doesnt detect my hardware or something?

The message I get if I write in Terminal iwconfig >>>>>no wireless extensions kali linux virtualbox

When I try to connect my integrated card through the Virtualbox menu (>Devices>Usb) it says: USB device 'Realtek Semiconductor Corp.' with UUID {ae72b289-61c6-4449-9dce-39bd732d1d49} is busy with a previous request. Please try again later.
But Im sure it was working before. Also I cant seem to run my tp-link tl-wn722n.

If the problem is not from Virtualbox but from Kali Linux I would be very happy if you could redirect me another forum or something.

Greetings

I just saw I posted this in a completely wrong section, please dont shoot me

That's because, if you didn't change the default VM Settings, your VM was using the "NAT" mode.

VirtualBox most probably detects your network cards OK. What VirtualBox doesn't do is to pass your hardware directly to your VM, with the potential exception of the CPU. Everything is "virtual"; your graphics card, your hard disk controller, your sound card, your network adapters. For that last ones, the network adapters presented to your VM are always wired and of the type that you select in the VM Settings » Network (don't change them unless you know what you're doing).

In order for your VM to see your USB adapter, you have to capture it in your guest by creating a filter. Follow the steps below. Exactly. Not everything might apply to you. If there is a failure, please state exactly which step failed:

1. Make sure that the Extension Pack is installed on the host. The same version as VirtualBox.
2. Make sure that at least USB2 (EHCI) is enabled in your VM settings. If your guest supports USB3 (xHCI), use that.
3. Under VM Settings » Port » USB, create a USB filter in your guest settings while the device is plugged in the host. Delete all values except Name, VendorID and ProductID.
4. Unplug the device.
5. Start your guest (the one that you applied the filter to). Let it start completely. Log in if you have to.
6. Plug your device. The filter should capture it and pass control to your guest.

what if I need my VM to see my built-in wireless adapter?
(actually it sees the adapter but as ETHERNET adapter not wireless!?)

Can't do. Read the previous answer...

Your virtual machine has virtual hardware, and there's no wireless card virtualization. Read the previous answer...
