I purchased a TP-Link n900 model with serial number TL-WDN4800. After installing it and using Windows 10, everything functions properly. I have Kali Linux running in a VirtualBox VM. The command 'iwconfig' isn't showing my wireless card. Anyone can assist or should I need a USB card and adjust settings in VM options?

Which virtualization tools are you employing? It demands PCIe pass-through because it needs direct hardware control over the Wi-Fi chipset, not just a virtualized software version.

Transfer it to the VM, I’m not sure there’s a method for that with Spiritual Box for PCI devices, but USB is straightforward

You are utilizing Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager.

I aim to analyze network traffic. You can achieve this on Windows, but passing Wi-Fi through a VM may cause it to lose the connection. A live CD is another option if needed.
