Problems on MBP booting from DVD using TL-WN722N

[simsalabims]

Hi,

I have some problems getting TP-LINK TL-WN722N running on a MBP when booting BACKTRACK 5 from a DVD or using VirtualBox. The odd thing is that i booted the same DVD on an old windows laptop and the TP-LINK was natively supported and I could fully use it.

I´m not able to get it running on the MBP, it´s not showing under WLAN0 or similar, I´m only getting ETH0 interface working.

Any suggestions ? I´m sure its something stupid I´m missing

Thx in advance

this is in VIRTUALBOX :

VirtualBox guest additions are installed. usb device is of course activated.

output of basic commands :

iwconfig :

root@bt:~# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

ifconfig :

root@bt:~# ifconfig

Output when booting from DVD is the same. As I said before I am able to boot on a windows laptop and everything works right out of the box... Are there any driver issues with MBP ?

Im also having the same issues on MBA running mountain lion and VBox 4.2.6 r82870.

I also installed Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.6-82870.vbox-extpack as it says that it enables better communication for usb2 devices but it has not changed anything.

Having run dmseg command in terminal I get the error code ath9k_htc: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error code -22.

I'm going to keep working on it but if anybody figures it out first please let me know!
