this way the network-interface inside the vm is the real one but the host system has no access to the dongle anymore (and thus no wifi). I cannot remember that I used bridged networking on a WiFi ever, but I assume that if the host sets up the WiFi-Connection (SSID, WPA, etc), you may connect the VM as bridged – but don't nail me on that.Īs far as I understand is that you want to have your host connected via cable and kali connected via wifi, is that correct? in that case I recommend you removing all virtual network interfaces and pass throug the usb-wifi-dongle. Depending on the Address the network is asking for, the request gets delivered to the host or the vm. A standard installation on a modern physical PC or VMware will usually result in Halaacpi.dll being chosen as most systems nowadays have an IO APIC and VMware chose to virtualize it by default (VirtualBox disables the IO APIC because it is more expensive to virtualize than a standard PIC). 'bridged' networking means, that your physical networkcard is able to use promiscuous mode, that means that a single connection can be used for multiple clients with their own ip-address each. In VirtualBox, go to the Devices menu -> Shared Folders menu -> Shared folders settings. The VM doesn't 'see' your hardware-adapter (TP-Link) but a virtual interface (AMD PCNet FAST III by default).
