Kubuntu wont recognize Netgear WNDA3100 in Virtualbox

[adhd2]

Hello, first post of many i hope!
So iv created a virtualbox with Kubuntu. Everythings been going well, created an awesome desktop. I downloaded wine to read my install software (that i downloaded) and everything was going smooth untill it said "please insert Wireless USB now". I inserted it, and nothing. it doesn't act like it is plugged in. I even went to "my computer- devices" on Kubuntu, and it does not appear. I have been messing with this for 2 days now, and i think its time i get some help. Please, help.

I would really appreciate help on this. im currently web browsing for similar problems but can not find one that is actually, similar.

Please search this forum for WDNA3100. See all the tear-stained 150 reply threads. If you still wish to proceed, follow the directions there.

There are many threads here about fully supported devices that plug and play.

I am inexperienced with Virtual Box but it appears that you correctly have the virtual ethernet bridged to the host machine's actual networking interface.

https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html

If you need more guidance as to networking in a virtual environment, I am not the best resource.

ah ok, thankyou anyways though. I still cant seem to get this to work. iv tried almost everything.

What do these report?

ndiswrapper -l
dmesg | grep ndis

That's a lower-case L in the first command and the pipe symbol | in the second.
