Summary0004280: Network Manager not starting nor is it allowing internet access
Description

-Wifi manager not showing up

-Unable to connect to the internet on LAN even when I have an IP address

-Network Manager is not Restarting or Starting can not tell because the only thing I have is a Proxy connection.

-ifconfig is not taking down wlan0 and bring it back up, it just remains active with no ESSID.

-iwconfig indicates there is a wlan0 but no card details for it.

-ifconfig indicates all other connection devices are available

I have tried to check dhclient but I am not getting nothing either. I believe this is a software issue since I have switched out my other hard drive on my labtop to my windows hard drive and I get connection on there but not with Kali.

I have also went into recovery and still I have not found a solution.

Steps To Reproduce

Unsure how to reproduce because it was working before now it isn't.

I booted my Kali

login and no wifi manager or able to connect to internet over LAN (direct connection)

I too was experiencing this same problem. I tried running a:

"service networking restart" (I still was unable to reach google.com)

I also tried: "service network-manager restart" (I still was unable to reach google.com)

I then installed anonym8 and started it up with command "anonym8 start"
I then was able to connect to google.com, so I then opened a command terminal and updated Kali with:

"apt upgrade -y"

The problem seemed to be resolved after updating Kali because after I turned off anonym8 (anonym8 stop) I was still able to surf the internet. But after a reboot of the computer the problem persists.. I now again cannot connect to google or any other online domain.

As a note this issue is also happening on my desktop as well. I don't know why, I can't even connect to direct LAN through the internet.

Just close this, I have decided to wipe my hard drive and install a fresh updated copy of Kali. If it happens again I'll report it then. I only did this because it may come down to that anyways. So I rather do it now then later. Thanks for the help though.
