Seems Kali is based on Debian testing (Mint probably not) and probably not maintaining the drivers / the driver packages on their own. Probably better report an issue to either the driver maintainer or Debian to get the drivers later into Kali.

We're sorry but we don't have the manpower to deal with hardware support problems.
Those problems need to be fixed in the upstream Linux kernel. We regularly import new kernel releases.
Some hardware suppliers don't care about their Linux support, and there's nothing we can do about that. Avoid buying hardware from those suppliers if you're going to run Linux with it.
