Procedure to enable wireless LAN adapter in vmware!

I have went to find the way in which wlan in Kali Linux could be made listed my airmon-ng command.

Most of the videos and posts suggested me that it is necessary to have another wi-fi adapter to have connected to wifi network. But this is not necessary.

The procedure to do this is as follows:

1. Download this package in Virtual Machine(Kali linux) " http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/"

2.Unzip this package in terminal

i.e navigate to place where you have downloaded this file , say desktop then type : cd Desktop

for unzip type : tar -jxvf compat-wireless-2010-06-26-p.tar.bz2

3. Navigate into the uncompressed directory and type:

i."make unload"  (only words within the quotes are the commands)
ii."make load"


Done!  now airmon-ng  should have the list of the required devices.


Example:--

iwconfig

airmon-ng

http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/

Download -- compat-wireless-2010-06-26-p.tar.bz2

cd Desktop
ls
tar -jxvf "nameOfTheFile"

//It should unzip

ls
cd "nameOfTheFile"#make unload
          #make load

//Test Again

iwconfig
