iw dev does not find adapter #6

ifconfig can find the adapter... iw dev not. I've used latest kali with fresh driver installation. Don't know why suddenly I won't show anymore.

ifconfig

OK found solution. r8188eu wasn't blacklisted although I executed the blacklist command. However instead of doing a proper reboot within my virtual machine, I used the reboot button from VMware which then deleted the blacklist.
