I bought a wireless network adapter so I put it in my Windows PC, I installed the driver automatically by an .exe program that installed in it; then I installed Kali Linux (last version) to start practice some programming codes in Kali Linux software (installed by Oracle VM Virtual Box), but when I start Kali Linux I surprised with the wireless network adapter not working, I tried to run lsusb command to see if Kali Linux recognized it or not and it’s showing me good news:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:c811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 802.11ac NIC
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 80ee:0021 VirtualBox USB Tablet
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
but when I write iwconfig command to see the internet wireless config if its monitor mode or not and I know that it’s will be managed it’s showing me:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
I thought that this is because the automatic driver installer or the driver mainly so I read the manual of product to download driver in original product website but failed, opened ChatGPT to ask it anything that will be good and that failed. I came up with convert that .exe program to the driver file to use it in Kali Linux software in Oracle VM Virtual Box so I installed UniExtract program to convert the .exe file program to the driver files. Then the last move is convert driver files to be suitable for Kali Linux software then moving it from Windows to Kali Linux software in Oracle VM Virtual Box -> not finished.
I asked ChatGPT again and it suggested to install ndiswrapper to move the files to Kali Linux software and convert it to be ran by Kali Linux software, but failed. I understood that ndiswrapper is removed from Kali Linux software and now I’m searching “outside the box”; I need another way to use Windows network card drivers in Kali Linux software.
Please help me!
