Hi,
You should consider reading
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...#faq_lqwelcome so you can compose queries to help you to help us to diagnose issues.
You can look at
Troubleshooting Wireless Drivers - Kali Linux to get some help diagnosing issues.
Or use some of the following.
You can look at 'dmesg' for your wireless device to see if the device has been sensed & activated
Code:
# dmesg |grep -i wireless
[ 7.303760] Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux, in-tree:
Check to see if the wireless is enabled;
Code:
# rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
3: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Some wireless devices can be controlled via the keyboard Fn keys. The above code block will show you if the device is enabled or blocked.
You can look at the device module/driver that is recognized via;
Code:
# lspci -kk |grep -iA3 network
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6230 [Rainbow Peak] (rev 34)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6230 AGN
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
Kernel modules: iwlwifi
You may need to check that proper firmware is installed for your device. You can look at the /lib/firmware with information for the example above for Intel 6230;
Code:
# ls /lib/firmware/iwl*
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-100-5.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3160-7.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6050-4.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3160-8.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5150-2.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6050-5.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3160-9.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7260-7.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-105-6.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6000g2a-5.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7260-8.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-135-6.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7260-9.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-2000-6.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6000g2b-5.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265-8.ucode
/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-2030-6.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-7265-9.ucode
Checking the
Intel site for the 6000 firmware shows the /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode is the proper firmware for the 6230 device. The kali kernel firmware should provide that firmware for such device.
Please realize that I have been using my wireless to show by example what can be done. To do the above commands you must be root or superuser. I usually open a terminal or console and use 'su -' & password to get root rights.
If the device is recognized and uses proper firmware you can check for LAN configurations by;
Code:
# ifconfig -a
eth0: flags=4098<BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

Note that my wlan0 does have a IP address.
My kernel route table;
Code:
# route -n

0.0.0.0 192.168.254.254 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 wlan0

192.168.254.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlan0
I do suggest that you 'man command' to understand what is being done.
You can check your DNS via;
Code:
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
#search workgroup
#nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 8.8.4.4
nameserver 4.2.2.2
nameserver 208.67.220.220
nameserver 4.2.2.1
#inameserver 208.67.220.220
nameserver 8.8.8.8
I use a mix of DNS, OpenDNS (208.67.220.220) plus google(8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4) and Verizon 3rd level (4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2) nameservers. The way I have group within my /etc/resolv.conf seems to work for me. I commented out other nameservers, you do not need more than six nameservers with '/etc/resolv.conf'.
If things check out OK after the above then you can test via;
Code:
To test LAN ;
# ping 216.58.192.174
PING 216.58.192.174 (216.58.192.174) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 216.58.192.174: icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=9.98 ms
64 bytes from 216.58.192.174: icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=10.2 ms

^C

3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2002ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 9.984/10.229/10.494/0.239 ms
To test that DNS is functioning then;
Code:
# ping google.com
PING google.com (216.58.192.142) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from ord36s01-in-f14.1e100.net (216.58.192.142): icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=14.1 ms

4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3004ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 10.027/11.654/14.110/1.614 ms
If these steps are successful then your LAN configuration is working
You can use 'man command' to understand the above commands.
You should look at the bottom of this thread for similar threads that may provide additional help. A LQ
Search will provide you answers as to how to do a Static IP configuration as this has been done many times here at LQ.
Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!
