Hardware

Hi everyone.

After spending a good amount of time searching the web and finding nothing I thought to try to find the answer here.

How can I make it work an Wireless USB adapter on a virtual monowall machine? The USB works fine in a x86 monowall environment but it's not recognized in my virtual monowall machine (Win7 64-bit as host).

Thanks!

It all depends on your VM software and how it passes USB to the VM.

I'm using VMware Workstation 10. Actually USB works fine under other virtual machines (Linux,Windows), but I can't make it work on a virtual Monowall 

what happens when you attach usb to the VM ?  , if you go to /exec.php and run dmesg, you should see some data

[VM - Removable Devices]

Thanks for your reply!
When monowall is running, nothing happens after inserting USB. If running a Windows/Linux, USB quickly shows up in VM - Removable Devices section.
I don't know how to follow your instructions "go to /exec.php and run dmesg".
But I can show you the logs from monowall webGUI:

exec.php is a hidden web page on the firewall.  You have to ype it in manually to get there.  From there you can directly run commands, and upload and download files, and other dangerous stuff.   Go there and type the command dmesg.
