right-click on the device and select “disable” ( this is important so that Windows doesn’t take control of the device next time you plug it in). there you should see the Ralink device listed as an active connection. click on your windows start menu by typing “Network Connections” this will bring up the manager. Disable the Panda USB as a Windows network connection:. Click “Ok” delete the original Ralink USB device from the list and then click “Ok” again to close the settings window.

Now that you know that the host can properly use the Panda, you will need to allow your Kali Linux instance to use it: ethernet or wifi, in order to ensure that the Panda USB is handling the traffic). Test this by connecting to a known WiFi network and navigating to some internet sites ( you might need to disconnect or disable other connections, e.g. #PANDA WIRELESS PAU06 NOT WORKING WINDOWS 10#
If it is a Windows 10 machine, it should recognize the device ( I did not test it on my MabBook) and automatically configure it to work.
