Forum Thread: Is There Any Way to Connect Internal Wireless Adaptor in Kali Linux Installed in Virtual Machine?

Yes. Just make sure your network settings on the host machine is set to NAT or Bridged.
Boot up into Kali and then follow these instructions.

1. Go into System settings.
2. Click on Network.
3. Click on Wireless.
4. Change the switch from Off to On.
5. Turn Aeroplane Mode to Off.

Next, connect to your desired wireless network and START HACKING !

How to see that our host PC's network is NAT or bridged????

Is your network setting set to NAT or Bridged on the host PC ? Is your wireless hardware switch on ?

Are you using VirtualBox or VMware ?

Vmware

i got the same problem !!!!

im using windows 10 as my host which is connected to the net via wifi ! but inside vmware kali as u can see it has a wired connection but the problem it's not showing any wifi network!!

plzz help!!

i am using oracle vm virtual box....

Could you post a screenshot of your network setting in Virtualbox ? It will help to diagnose the problem. I personally use VMware but solving this shouldn't be a problem.

i am not able to upload photo here from my laptop only upload from web is possible...

Why are you not able ? Just attach the image....

there is no tab to upload new phot0...
any thanks i will install VMware..

In some browsers the button doesn't show, but it's there, above the "Submit" button. If you hover it it'll say "Add an image". Or you could try switching browsers, I still couldn't find what causes it.

while i tried to connect my broadcom adaptor to vm it says driver error....

Could you give me the exact error ? Do what Kitten said and upload a screenshot otherwise we won't know what you are doing. I'm not there at your computer so help us by giving us more info. Thanks.

I've been facing the same problem. And this is the screen shot which you asked earlier. Any solution?

The Screen shot above looks the way it should to be connected to the Host's WIFI adapter.
it shows the connection as wired because it is wired to the host.
You can not unmount the hosts wifi adaptor an make it the VM's own
You are connected to it via the NAT or Bridged connection.

Hey i met the same problem and my one also have another problem saying that no such ieee80211 file or directory ,,, any solution anyone..

Im using my laptop wifi adapter

Hi. I have this exact same problem and looking for a solution is pissing me off because I'm not finding anything that's working. have you found a solution to that?

If you are using a VM, I suggest you buy an external adapter.

I had something similar last night while practicing MiTM on kids. I had started thing in the wrong sequence so the adapter was occupied when I tried putting into promiscuous mode. rebooted and sequenced correctly then worked fine.

YO, can you take some snap shoots for how you fixed the adapter wireless.

Thanks

You can buy a USB network adapter, it's your option when you wanna use Kali in a VM, otherwise, install it as a dual boot.

so How will you connect an wifi adapter to kali installed in Vmware for packet injection???

I also have the same question still no answers found.. just one way dual boot windows and kali
