Thanks.... so I have tried a number of times with Virtualbox, and have tried now with VMPlayer. At least with VMPlayer I can see part of the issue and that is the fact the Windows still has access to the device TPLink WN722N. So silly question, how do release it from windows by enable VMWare to see it? edit... Nevermind I figured that out with VMPlayer from the menu screen. I will play with that and let you know the result.. Thanks again

Hi Folks, Been playing catch up on this show and after watching episode 519 I thought I would try a VM of Kali or BT5 to try pen testing. Unfortunately I can't get the USB WiFi device (atheros chipset) to be seen by the VM (using VMware Player or Virtualbox) like Darren shows in the episode. I have read and research over the web and found this to be a problem for others as well. i.e. https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/29374-backtrack-5-usb-wi-fi/?hl=virtualbox and https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/29546-usb-wifi-on-virtualbox/?hl=virtualbox My question is does anyone know what version of VirtualBox Darren was using in the episode? (I know been some time). Figured it was worth trying that version of virtualbox... I purchased an Alfa (enroute) but I don't see the problem resolving with a different device. Others have suggested I just install Kali Linux on a USB and boot into it from that. But I have found v4 and v5 (1.04 and 1.05) both to be problematic with trying to install onto a USB flash drive. Problems keep occuring with the Ext4 and partition table writing. About to try the same approach with BT5R3, but does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks
