Hi, a few hours ago I wrote a post asking for wifi because it doesn't appear (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2396558), but now i want to use Kali with VirtualBox, but I can't connect because the bridged adapter don't give the option of wlan0 and when I put iwconfig on terminal appears this:

Code:

lo        no wireless extensions.

eno1      no wireless extensions.

Thread moved to Ubuntu/Debian BASED for a more appropriate fit.

This is the name of your connection:

Code:

wlo1 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"ENTELHOGAR-169"

it is no longer named wlan0 from 16.04 and newer versions, so that is not your issue.

Running kali in virtualbox you do not need to make the wireless work, just use the internet connection of your host.
