ALFA AWUS036ACM not connecting in VMWARE or VirtualBox - ZeroTraces - Jan 28, 2024

Just got my new Alfa AWUS036acm, I tried almost everything but I can't seem to get a wifi connection up inside my VM.

Any help?

After retrying it gives me this error code in linux mint

Do you think a dual boot with a non-vm install will solve the problem?
