Kali Linux Question

[penetration]

So i wanted to ask a question about obtaining wlan0 when typing in ifconfig
How can i get eth0 to go to wlan0? Can i do this manually? Im thinking that i cannot due to i have an ethernet cord hooked up into my computer? I have tried a wlan usb stick and that works its just that the one i had was ruined. I would however rather have the ethernet cable. Any sugesstions?

I am running vmware to run kali 2.0 64bit

Since you ask nicely.

You will have to pass some device to the machine be it a usb wireless device or virtual networking.
In most cases you can bridge the VM over the host interface, meaning the kernels will handle the routing for you.
VMware or any other hypervisor suite will provide a way to do this , look in the network menu for bridge or whatever they call it.
It will receive a DHCP from your local router.

is there any webites you can suggest that would lead me to find out how I create such device? I know for a fact that there is a vm ware network adapter in my settings on windows does that count?

This explains it nicely. Never used vmware so I can't give you specific instructions but it should be somewhere in settings for your Kali VM (where you configure CPU, RAM, storage, etc. for your VM). You are looking for networking or network adapters. You will probably have to select it from a list  / drop-down. You are looking for "bridged" adapter. Just google "how to set bridged network adapter" for your version of vmware and you should be able to find it.

(Note: bridged adapter should be there by default so you almost certainly will not have to manually add it but rather just select it)
