Hi.
I am trying to get wireless connection setup using Alfa AWUS036H but I don't know how to do it.
Do I have to install in sys-net vm? Where can I start?

It is detected in dom0.
When I run lsusb in dom0 console.
It shows
Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187 Wireless Adapter.
But light in alfa adapter doesn't blink.

The device should have been assigned automatically to sys-net, could you
check if that's the case? Run "qvm-pci list sys-net" in dom0.

I wanted to use it on a kali appvm ,so :

first you find your wireless card ,

DOM0 --> qvm-usb

then

DOM0--> qvm-usb attach kali-appvm sys-usb:2-1 #2-1 you will find it in qvm-usb

if you don't have a usb qubes , you should replace sys-usb with dom0
this will attach my wireless card to my kali app-vm , in your case you can attach it to sys-net


then you install the driver on your vm.

My kali Template (debian) so I ran :

kali-template--> sudo apt-get update firmware-atheros # install it in your template to be persistent

then in your appvm

kali-appvm--> iwconfig # verify that your wireless card appear

when you will start your wlan , it will starts to blink

In my kali

kali-appvm-->sudo airmon-ng start wlan0

Try using qvm-pci list to find the Qubes device id for the wireless
adapter and then qvm-pci attach to assign it to sys-net.

I tried qvm-pci but it didn't list my wireless adapter. Because it is usb?
