tp link wn722n disconnects from kali and windows both

Post by Drunknoob »

I installed Kali-Linux-2020.1-vbox-amd64 and bought tp link tl-wn722n wireless card. The card works normally on my host windows 10. When I try to connect after booting kali (or when kali starts booting if I added the card to USB device filters) the red circle on the bottom USB icon briefly flashes and then disconnects the card completly. When I connect it manually in Input > USB... I get "USB busy with a previous request" error.

"Busy with a previous request" means that the host is using this device - and USB devices can't be shared.

This can most easily be avoided by (a) adding a USB filter for this device to the VM recipe, and (b) plug the device in after the guest OS has finished booting.
