Looked at Wireless Network Settings again, nothing
See screenshot (WirelessSettings-AfterWifite-NoWorkie.png)

Ran Ifconfig again to see if wireless is still there:
root@kali:~# ifconfig

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:c0:ca:69:05:b1  
         UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

         RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

Brought down and up the wlan0 (command line) - no joy

Rebooted VM and once back up, can get to wireless network settings again

I then tried the same process again (as above) after killing the conflicting processes (wpa_supplicant - using airmon-ng check & airmon-ng check kill). Performed the same steps as above with the same results, except it allowed me to view the surrounding wireless targets when kicking off wifite.
