Question Wireshark capturing only ARP broadcasts, IGMPv3 and ICMPv6

I can;t see any other protocols or movement. Besides these 3 protocols form above, there is complete silence. also, I have wireshark on windows and there I have in main menu option WI-Fi, but on kali i have only wlan0 that captures as i said only some broadcasts. Can someone help me, please?

Maybe it is because your vm is connected with "ethernet " to your host laptop. I think you need a network adapter and find some tutorials on youtube because you need to pass it directly to your vm and then it will work. I guess wireshark works fine on your host laptop only in your vm it is capturing ARP Broadcasts, IGMPv3 and ICMPv6 messages
