Subject: Kali Linux 4.19.13 VM, Ralink RT3072 - Not Finding Wireless Networks

Hello All,

I am running Kali Linux (4.19.13) in a VM. I have a USB network
adapter - a Ralink RT3072, passed through to the VM. However, it is
not finding any wireless networks. This issue occurs on both VMware
and on Virtualbox, but not on a live install of the same OS. This is
the output I get from dmesg: pastebin.com/HaXUDNug . What may be the
issue here?

With much appreciation,

Kevan

do you get such issues if running older kali/linux version on the same system?

Logs show we can not communicate with the device via USB bus. This is
problem in usb host driver or VM pass trough code or those two
combined. Eventually your motherboard firmware/BIOS issue.
