Wow, I'm embarking on new territory. I'm worried this is going to take me forever, because its all very new to me, but I'm excited to learn. I'm wondering if you could offer me any more reading material or yourtube videos on the subject. I'm familiar with github but every time I use it I just plug it into the command line and linux does all the work I've never actually dissected or looked at the code. After opening the link you provided me I see a lot of files such as core, hal, include, Kconfig makefile etc. I opened the makefile and I see a 1085 lines of code. I'm guessing I have to edit this file to the specifics of my driver. Question: Am I on the right track? Will I be editing all 1085 lines of code, or just certain sections of the code? Where can I find the specifies on my router as far as what to change and what to change it to? THANKS for your help

If my wifi device is working with my macbook when it is running on the MAC operating system and then when I start up Virtual Box and plug in the deivce and choose it under devices/usb/Reltalk 802.11n (my wifi router) it shuts off. With that said does that mean that the Vbox doesn't allow the usb to give full power to the wifi antena or am I missing something?

Also this is my macbook, but I upgraded to 12gb of RAM for VM purposes. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-i5-2.3-13-early-2011-unibody-thunderbolt-specs.html

Great, that sounds like a solution, I have a early 2011 macbook pro, not so beefy. But is there an antenna I can get that will not require me to do this, that is dual band? Right now I have what I think is the newest ALPHA indoor antenna: http://www.amazon.com/Alfa-Long-Range-Dual-Band-Removable-Connections/dp/B00MX57AO4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412518411&sr=8-1&keywords=AWUS036AC It also says that it is a 3.0 device and I don't have a 3.0 usb port on my laptop. I was a thinking this looks like the best antenna they make and its only a few bucks more then the other ones, I guess this is a lesson learned the best is not always the most practical or best decision. As far as finding a 1 to 2 usb dongle I can't find one, but will this hub do? I also have a firewire port on my macbook if I could do something with that? http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Premium-Aluminum-MacBook-HB-UMAC/dp/B00EFE9OAE/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1412518636&sr=1-6&keywords=usb+hub Thanks Cooper

COOPER- This is what it says but iwconfig is not recognizing it http://pastebin.com/W7ArPxMP

Thanks for the quick replies. The device is registering on my MacBook Pro, I know because when I plug it in the application pops up and the lights on the usb adapter are blinking. As soon as I switch to my virtual box and change the usb device settings to reconize my usb ALFA device the light stops blinking. I check iwconfig and all I see root@kali:~# iwconfig eth0 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions. I tried the Tail -f /var/log/kernel command and I'm not getting anything I just copied and pasted like you told me, I've never used that command so I may need to customize it for my machine? This is what I get: root@kali:~# tail -f /var/log/kernel tail: cannot open `/var/log/kernel' for reading: No such file or directory

I recently bought a ALFA AWUS036AC hoping to use it with my Kali distro. It says it is compatible with Linux Kernals 3.X but unfourtantely when I goto download the driver from ALFA i get the error that the driver has been removed or deleted, I was wondering if anybody could help me either get this wifi ant. working with Kali or point me in the direction of the best of the best kali wifi routers for penatration testing so I can return this one and get another that works. This is the link that the ALFA website directs me to : https://www.dropbox.com/s/khbd9h7tosdid6o/AWUS036AC_linux_v4.3.2_11100.20140411.zip
