Kali Linux does not show any networks. What to do?
I use a Lenovo G570 with the latest Kali Linux version (ONLY LINUX INSTALLED).
About my problem:
I recently bought a Wi-Fi adapter because the onboard chip didn't seem to work anymore.
I have now managed to recognize my adapter (wlan0 and wlan1), but this in turn does not want to recognize a network.
Ethernet works and I can therefore use my Internet.
Nevertheless, I want to be able to use Wi-Fi for my notebook.
Any suggestions for solutions?
I tried a lot. Be it connect manually from the GUI, airocrack-ng etc.
Thank you in advance.
What is there?
iwlist wlan0 scan
out? (And also with wlan1)
P.S.: Does it have to be potash? OK
Yes, many are wondering. Kali is too "complicated". I'm stubborn and want to start with the hardest part.
I thought about installing Ubuntu.
Where's the big difference between them? I'm a beginner and I really want to deal with ethical hacking, which is incredibly difficult.
PS. I only had "iw" in the code. Then there was nothing. Will try it with iwlist!
So you wanted to write wlan0 scan, but it didn't find anything. That's my problem:/
Possibly. It has to do with the activated "Power Management".
Try it out:
iwconfig wlan0 power off
iwlist wlan0 scan
Wouldn't that "turn off" the interface? Well, I'll give it a try.
"No scan results"…: /
My adapter chip is also compatible with Linux. I really don't know lol.
Ubuntu is a distribution for the desktop. I.e. With office system, media player etc. It is preconfigured even for beginners. Kali Linux is a penetration testing distribution and is intended for professionals. A lot of things have to be set there first or done differently because they are not installed by default, because they are not necessary for the purpose.
Okay, next idea:
ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scan
And possibly the same again for wlan1.
No scan results.
I was also at "leafpad /etc/NetworkManager/Networkmanager.conf" changed everything to eg Managed = true (I think it refers to the interfaces) and restarted the Network Manager, but no signal from my WLAN.
