Thanks. I have an inbuilt wireless card as eth0 and an dongle wireless card as wlan0. eth0 is bridged in virtualbox.
I can get wlan0 to operate in Monitor mode an listen att random traffic so it is alive.
I am starting to think the problem is my usb dongle wireless card can't operate in AP...
Set-up:
virtual box with Kali and eth0 (internet), network dapter 1 set to bridged mode so I access my internal network ip-range
wlan0 card as USB device connected
Ip a:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/loopback...
