Summary | 0006441: Cannot Connect to Wireless wifi In kali Linux | ||||
Description | I was trying to assess my own wireless WiFi. I looked in the network connection area in the top right. It does not show any WiFi networks. I searched up some solutions with my friend, Google. I tried many commands including the following: hello@KaliLinux:~$ sudo apt-get install kali-linux-wireless hello@KaliLinux:~$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 up hello@KaliLinux:~$ sudo ifconfig lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536 hello@KaliLinux:~$ lsusb After all these I still cannot connect to wireless WiFi. There is no option to. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce |
| ||||
The metapackage is called kali-tools-wireless not kali-linux-wireless - https://www.kali.org/news/major-metapackage-makeover/ Second, you're not showing any kind of wireless device, and installing random packages won't enable one. You need to know which wireless device you have, in order to use it. None of the devices listed in your lsusb output are a wireless device, one is a bluetooth device. Perhaps there is one listed via "lspci"? You should probably read the manpage for iwconfig, as it does not include an "up" command line option. "ifconfig" without any options will show only devices that are "up" - you'd want to run "ifconfig -a" to show all devices, or a better command is "ip a" since ifconfig is long deprecated. |

Thanks. This is the result for lspci: I am trying to connect to a wireless router. How should I connect? |

So, the good news is, 02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter That's your wifi card. The bad news is, there isn't yet a driver for that card. There was someone who was working on a driver for it, but they stopped development when they lost access to their device. You can try to get https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce working, but we can't actually do anything here. Your best bet would be to get an external card. |
