Virtualbox can't detect a wireless adapter usb to add to a VM in setting

[DiscreteLoner]

I want to connect a VM, Kali, to wi-fi directly instead of using NAT, but I can't. I have Alfa AWUS036ACH wireless card with Realtek 8812AU chipset. I started the VM, installed the recommended driver "realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms" from Kali's main repository. I powered off the VM. Then, went to the setting of that VM and to add USB, but it said no device detected. I have checked that I already have the usb wireless card plugged in. My host detected it just fine using "lsusb".

Host device: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (updated from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS a few days ago after it was officially released on Ubuntu website)
Virtualbox Version: 6.1.6 r137129 (Qt5.12.
Extension Pack version: 6.1.6 r137129
Hardware: Acer Aspire E5-473G, Intel i5 5th gen, 12 GiB RAM

If more information is required, please tell me so I can provide more with some direction on how to find out such as the command line.

Carefully go through USB basics and troubleshooting. If you finish all the steps 1-7 and cannot get your USB device into the guest OS, carefully post the outputs of the commands in step 8 as text in

Code: Select all

 tags, not screenshots. Zip and post the log step 8 calls for, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

Keep in mind that there is no Ubuntu 20.04 link yet in https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads, so as yet that version is not officially supported yet. If you are running Virtualbox on your Ubuntu 20.04 it may have issues somewhere or may be the fork, which we don't support on these forums.
