I see it comes with a cd, can I install it without it?

It worked perfectly with both my Linux and Windows 10 computers without any driver installation at all. Never used the CD.

Anyone know if this will work with a Chromebook built on Debian 10?

Debian 10 does include the driver. The question is whether the Chromebook will supply enough power through the USB3 port.

I am running Kali ver 2021.2 as a virtual box. I cannot get the device to work. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This device connects through the usb 3.0. Start by Opening the Virtual box: 1) Power off the Kali VM and then connect the wireless device to the usb 3.0 port. 2) Under Kali VM settings, select USB, click the USB “+” icon and select the wireless device. 3) Make sure USB 3.0 is selected as the controller. 4) Unplug the WiFi adapter and power on Kali VM. Once Kali is powered on, reattach the device to the usb 3.0 port and it should automatically connect to the Kali VM. NOTE: This will not work if Kali VM is open and running!
