I have installed Kaliv2 64bit (all packages updated) on vmware and I want to connect to internet with usb wlan (tp-link wn722nn) so I don't use virtual vmware network and just connect directly to my usb wlan (removable devices) but: I can not find any network icon in the top panel like the depicted picture  I tried to reinstall network manager but nothing happened sudo apt-get install -d --reinstall network-manager network-manager-gnomesudo apt-get install wicd-gtksudo apt-get remove network-manager-gnome network-managerthen reboot it ]I have connected to internet like below but whenever I reboot the os I should do it again to be able using internet ip link set wlan0 upiw wlan0 linkiw wlan0 scanwpa_passphrase ssid-name  >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.confwpa_supplicant -B -D wext -i
