I bought a Tp_link USB wifi adapter when I plug it in to the virtual machine i was able to make it show up on the network manager on the to right of the VM but I am not able to search any wifi, and when I typed iwconfig I got

unassociated ESSID:”” Nickname:”<WIFI@REALTEK>”

Link Quality=0/100 Signal level=0 dBm Noise level=0 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0

Hi!
This adapter is not well supported, that’s why you’re having issues with it, as mentioned in the course requirements you need a powerful adapter that supports monitor mode and packet injection,checkout the adapters on the following link, they all support monitor mode and packet injection:

If you’re not sure which one to get the checkout the adapters video in the resources of lecture 13, here is a link to it anyway:
