Why is my Kali Linux not connecting to Wi-Fi? 😱 // 100% Problem FIXED!

UPDATE; If this does not work for you, check out the Kali knowledge base here. I hope it helps: www.kali.org/d...
Answering questions from subscribers. "My WiFi is not working. I'm using a MacBook Pro 2013. I'm installing Kali right on the machine. Help!"
👉🏻 Get Your Questions Answered: tinyurl.com/mt... // 🔥 Awesome Virus Analysis Video ➡️ • This Virus is Dangerou...
NOTE: This is for people running bare metal OS on old computers NOT virtual machines. Also that you can connect via ethernet cable so you can download the Broadcom driver. FYI VMs can connect to the WIFI from host OS via network adapter. Wifi won’t show on Kali VM.
Most likely your wireless adaptor is not working on your Kali Linux. The key here is to install the Broadcom driver. After encountering this problem myself a while ago, I looked for a few solutions online and I did not find anything that would help me fix this problem.
Until I ran this nifty Broadcom driver installer. This solution also works on Ubuntu machines.
Usually, when you install a Linux Distro on a laptop or dual-boot with both MacOs and Windows machines, some of them get all of the drivers installed, some are partially installed, or some do not at all!
It could be a disaster, especially when you spent a lot of time installing the Kali Linux system.
In this step-by-step tutorial, I show you things you can do to fix your WiFi, including installing the Broadcom driver.
Don't hesitate to ask your questions also!

NOTE: This is for people running bare metal OS on old computers NOT virtual machines. FYI VMs can connect to the WIFI from host OS via network adapter. Wifi won’t show on Kali VM. Also, you must have an ethernet connection at the beginning to download the Broadcom driver. Cheers!

[@oniion6969]

Is there a video for VM users?

[@theq80gamer]

what about virtual machines?

[@theq80gamer]

This is what worked for me. For Virtual Box, you need to disable bridge connection, and add a USB interface for wifi. Make sure that the Host os, in my case Windows, is not using the interface. Launch the Kali Linux VM and the network manager will detect your wifi interface and be able to join wifi networks. For WSL unfortunately, it uses the host internet and identifies it as an Ethernet. Still couldn't figure out a way to manipulate network connectivity on WSL.

This is like if you have your own Wi-Fi adapter card but you can’t use it because Kali Linux is showing that you’re connected to Enternet(not wireless just connected with the plug) and you’re trying to hack some Wi-Fi with wifite with external wifi adapter card but you don’t have the wlan0/wlan1 showing up. After this, you’re gonna have your adopted showed. I think.
