I have a wireless card (Alfa AWUS036H) that I use for pen-testing on my test network. Due to my recent interest in network hacking, I picked up this card and put it into monitor mode. While it scanned networks fine and picked up strong signals from neighboring networks, if I disconnected it or restarted my computer the next day, it would not discover any networks using the command airodump-ng wlan0mon wlan0mon being the interface of the card. To get the card to work again, I would have to restart the virtual box, unplug the device or even restart my computer multiple times to get it to work. I don't know if it is a software problem or a hardware issue. If this was a real-world situation this would in no way be practical. I run kali-linux 2019.1 on virtual-box 5.2. My computer runs on Windows 10. Your help would be appreciated.

In the real world it is run from the HDD as a physical OS.
The command to start & stop using :
airmon-ng stop wlan0 &airmon-ng start wlan0
wlan0mon is the virtual interface created from physical interface wlan0
Don't call on virtual interfaces with airmon-ng you will get buggy results at best. airmon-ng creates the virtual interface...
