Summary	0000073: 'Wireless is disabled by hardware switch'
Description	After connecting my AWUS036H wireless card to my virtual machine, it seems that after a while the card gets disabled and the message: 'Wireless is disabled by hardware switch' appears. I'm not sure if this is Debian's, Kali's or VMWare's fault.
Steps To Reproduce	Boot Kali Insert AWUS036H Connect to a wireless AP and fail connection (bad password) After a random time it disconnects
