My Sony VPCSC laptop has been scrapped by Sony, so I'm using my secondary laptop with Windows Vista (Until I update to 7 within the next day or 2) until my brand new replacement laptop arrives.
On said Sony, I had no problems. I installed VMWare Workstation, installed Windows 7 / Windows Server or Kali Linux and the wireless adapter was just as it's suppose to be.
On this laptop, it's using an Atheros AR5B91 wireless card.
I originally thought it was a Linux driver problem, even though the default Ath9K drivers should have worked. I installed Windows 7 and I'm having the same problem, it's not even detecting the wireless adapter, just the NIC.
In Networks it shows my private network, local & internet, connected, below that it has,
"Unidentified Network (Public)
Access: Local Only
Connections: VMWare Network Adapter VMnet1
VMWare Network Adapter VMnet2
But within the respective OSs', neither display WLAN0 or a Wireless Adapter.
Any advice?
