How to disable Wifi Power Save on Kali Linux
I am running kali with virtualbox and my wifi receiver is a usb adapter which is Asus N10 Nano. I made the settings on virtualbox for making the vb recognize my usb wifi adapter. It works but after like 5min my internet drops. Especially during the updates. I figured it out its because the "Wifi Power Save" option is on. I turned it off and tried again. When i turned it off my wifi turned off at the same time. I tried to turn my wifi on but the Wifi Power Save option turned on itself automatically. The usb icon on bottom is like red-green. It needs to be blinking green to work correctly. If i can turn off the Wifi Power Save mod permamently hopefully its gonna be blinking green. I searched for it, I did almost everything like creating directory as /etc/pm/power.d/wireless and editing the file wireless by these commands:
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 power off
Then i gave the permission -x for it. It didnt work. Sorry if I had mistake while I was writing this. Thanks for helping!

The Asus N10 Nano has the Realtek 8192CU chipset. I advise to configure the loading of the required kernel modules using the following procedure.
Create the file sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192cu.conf, with:
options rtl8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=1 rtw_ips_mode=1
Then do:
sudo rmmod rtl8192cu
sudo modprobe rtl8192cu
If the modprobe does not work, restart the server.
Nevertheless, be warned the Asus N10 Nano is using the rtl8192cu which is a notoriously cheap and buggy chip, notoriously in energy management.
Please do read my answer in this thread, talking also about Asus and the same chipset.
