Background:I am running the latest version of Kali Linux in a vmware workstation and I have a Cisco AE2500 wifi usb which works as a wifi adapter in Windows 10.  Unfortunately, when i run the airmon-ng command, I receive ls: cannot access '/sys/class/ieee80211/': No such file or directory.I have tried every possible solution from 10+ forums and different google searches to fix this problem.  Common solutions which fixed the problem for other individuals have yet been unsuccessful.  Solutions include:1) apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade -y2) The forum solution to download backports driver (4.4.2-1) and make defconfig-b43, compiled, installed, rebooted3) The forum solution to download synaptic and then manually upgrade the bcm43xxx drivers4) Airmon-ng forum5) Vmware tools update6) apt-get install kali-linux-wireless7) installation of all wifi firmware drivers for both 80211, broadcom, atheros and intel chips. and numerous others...lsusb:root@sandbox:~# lsusbBus 001 Device 003: ID 04e8:6863 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd GT-I9500 [Galaxy S4] / GT-I9250 [Galaxy Nexus] (network tethering)Bus 001 Device 002: ID 13b1:003a Linksys AE2500 802.11abgn Wireless Adapter [Broadcom BCM43236]Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hubBus 002 Device 004: ID 0e0f:0008 VMware, Inc.
