Hello Squakie,
Yes, I have Guest Additions on VirtualBox installed. As for defining the network as NAT, I think I did that. In the vm settings I clicked on Adapter 2 then on Enable Network Adpater. I went to the Advanced section. For the adapter type I have the default Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop. I didn't see TP-Link or Atheros there.
After doing that I went to the Terminal window and did lsusb
Code:
lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 80ee:0021 VirtualBox USB Tablet
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR9271 802.11n
My wireless chipset is shown again like last time (Atheros Communication...)
but when I do an ifconfig wlan0 isn't there:
Code:
ifconfig

and ifconfig wlan0 up:
Code:
ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
iwconfig:
Code:
iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth1 no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
Adding another adapter only added another eth but not a wlan.
Thank you for your response.
