Passing adapters through to VMs can work sometimes, but is often problematic. From a production point of view, I would avoid this.

If you are able to make it work, i.e. VM sees adapter, then you might just have a configuration issue. You can, of course, manually configure the system but the aircrack-ng suite has a tool to help you configure the adapter and disable all other known-conflicting applications. Start by using the airmon-ng tool and you can set the channel. Further channel changes can be done with iw, iwconfig, or even some older versions of Wireshark, but it is important to be sure all interfering software is disabled.
