Since the a TP-LINK TL-WN721N USB Wi-Fi adapter is one of the few that works with Kali normally. I am having trouble having it detected as a Wireless Adapter in a Virtual Machine.

I installed Kali and Tools etc on VMWare. Updated the OS and everything. I have one default ethernet installed. I connected the USB adapter and switched it to the guest OS but nothing happens. The adapter shows up lsusb as

Its the 5th entry down as you see. But ifconfig and iwconfig yield no results.
