this way the network-interface inside the vm is the real one but the host system has no access to the dongle anymore (and thus no wifi). Open up VirtualBox - your VM should be powered off Click on your VM Click settings Click Network You should have adapter 1: (Enable Network Adapter checked) Adapter type: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop, Attached to: NAT, Name: (blank) Click on adapter 2 - here you will create a new adapter.

I cannot remember that I used bridged networking on a WiFi ever, but I assume that if the host sets up the WiFi-Connection (SSID, WPA, etc), you may connect the VM as bridged – but don't nail me on that.Īs far as I understand is that you want to have your host connected via cable and kali connected via wifi, is that correct? in that case I recommend you removing all virtual network interfaces and pass throug the usb-wifi-dongle. Depending on the Address the network is asking for, the request gets delivered to the host or the vm.

'bridged' networking means, that your physical networkcard is able to use promiscuous mode, that means that a single connection can be used for multiple clients with their own ip-address each.

The VM doesn't 'see' your hardware-adapter (TP-Link) but a virtual interface (AMD PCNet FAST III by default). In the view of the virtual machine (kali in this case), the connection is always a wired one.
