How do I get my Wirelesswireless USB Adapteradapter to show up in Kali Linux?

I just received my PAU05 usbUSB wifi adapter today and after installing some drivers I got the device to work just fine in Kali Linux (DidI did some wireless pen testing with no problems.) However when I restarted my pcPC today and went to boot up Kali Linux in my virtual boxVirtualBox machine and it found my device, but it is no longer showing as wlan0 in console. Can someone help me out with this. I think it may be a driver issue but i'mI'm not entirely sure.

Edit: I am using a virtual machine and I believe I might have the answer. When When I received the device I plugged it in my laptop before installing the driversdrivers prompting windowsWindows to install the device by itself. That, in turn, caused mymy internal wifi adapter driver to be changed as seen here.

Now this is just a theory, but I think it may have to do with the drivers conflicting? Any suggestions?
