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
