Kali Linux - wlan0 not showing up in ifconfig, does virtual machine affect this?

I have Panda Wireless PAU07 - the seller says it is supporting Kali and Promiscuous/Monitor modes. However I am running on a virtual machine and when running ifconfig wlan0 or other interfaces do not show up. Is this because I am running on virtual machine, should I switch to live USB?

  • Do you see more with ifconfig -a?

I'm posting an answer because I solved it myself in case anyone else has the same issue and googles upon this question.



In VirtualBox VM there is USB devices menu, just add your device there, then install the extension pack from the VirtualBox website, and it should be all set up.
