Why are you installing Kali? Do you know what Kali's intended purpose is? Have you read this? https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ad-4175614092/

Ah ok. Virtual box is the easiest way to use Kali. I use it that way at work and my whole team has it set up on VB because much easier than installing. Makes a terrible main OS by the way.

And that proves that you have much to learn before you can even use kali in a vm.

Here's what Kali Linux' developers have to say about it:

Quote:
Is Kali Linux Right For You?

As the distribution’s developers, you might expect us to recommend that everyone
should be using Kali Linux. The fact of the matter is, however, that Kali is a
Linux distribution specifically geared towards professional penetration testers
and security specialists, and given its unique nature, it is NOT a recommended
distribution if you’re unfamiliar with Linux or are looking for a general-purpose
Linux desktop distribution for development, web design, gaming, etc.

Even for experienced Linux users, Kali can pose some challenges.

virtualbox (and in general virtual machines) use virtual network. You need to connect that to your real wlan0.
Kali is not designed to work with wifi - would be better to look around on the net about it before you try.
