You have a network card that works on your local machine but shuts down when connected to the virtual machine. The VM recognizes it but doesn’t receive power. Try checking the cable connections, power settings, or the VM’s configuration.

Is it a USB or PCIe gadget? The virtual machine is built using either a specialized hypervisor such as Proxmox or an integrated OS solution like Hyper-V, VirtualBox, or VMware's desktop tools. The system specifications aren't detailed here.

It usually happens with certain virtual machines blocking network connections. You must set up the VM to permit networking so it functions properly.

It's being utilized in a school-based ethical hacking course. It functions as a USB network adapter. I'm connecting it via my laptop, though we didn't have USB 3.0 ports included, so an external hub is needed. The specifications include a Ryzen 4900 processor, 2060 Max Q support, and 16 GB of single-channel RAM.

I work with VMWare Fusion and occasionally use Workstation on my PC, though not very often. I haven’t run into problems with USB thumb drives or creating bootable media. Usually native ports work best. On Macs with USB-C I’ve used dongles without any issues. It might depend on how the operating system handles these connections. If available, a standard USB port would be safer. USB 2.0 should suffice for Wi-Fi if you’re not transferring large amounts of data.

It seems to completely disable everything yet VMWARE detects it because I see the "Connect device to VM" prompt. When I try to connect, it fails to power up again after disconnecting from the host. This is happening on Windows too.

Interesting points. It seems virtualization capabilities are typically activated in BIOS. Newer Ryzens models usually provide everything needed for device passthrough, but it depends on the laptop manufacturer’s support. Aside from that, I don’t have a strong suggestion beyond that. Outside of this, I’d avoid trying anything else unless you’re sure about what you’re doing. Maybe someone more experienced can give a clearer idea.

I recently purchased another unit, but it still had the same issue. I tested it on my main rig and encountered the same problem again. I'm planning to try the new version of the main rig next.

It might just be a missing driver in the guest operating system. If you require the network connection on VMware, I don't suggest doing it this way. The USB passing feature is intended for storage devices; for networking, use the dedicated NAT or bridge options in the virtual machine settings.
