This is a generic USB wireless adapter that uses the famous Atheros AR9271 chipset, this means that it will be natively supported by most Linux distros including Kali Linux.
Will work with Kali whether it is installed as a main OS or as a virtual machine (regardless of the host OS).
All of the above is tested with Kali 2017.1 and 2017.2 both as a virtual machine and as a main OS.
