Did you read the Kali website and/or documentation??? Kali is to be used by experienced Linux users, for network security/pentesting only (it even SAYS THIS on their website). It also ships with wifi and other things disabled by default. Read their documentation on how to enable it. Since you're an experienced user (you must be, since you're using Kali), you should be able to follow their docs easily.
Also, read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature; doing basic research should be the first thing you do, because putting "how to enable wifi in kali" into Google brings up many how-to guides.
actually i am not frequent user of kali linux. i have googled many times for this problem. but some of didnt work and some of partially worked.
please provide me solution or any link.

What TB0ne is saying is, if you are using Kali then you must be quite experienced with Linux, because only an experienced Linux user has a legitimate use for Kali. In that case, it should be easy for you to enable wireless networking, because you are an experienced Linux user.
In the event you are not an experienced Linux user, you don't need Kali for anything, so you should use a different distro. Now do you understand? Kali has it's own forum. You can ask there.
..which is exactly the reason you shouldn't use it. Again, Kali is for ADVANCED LINUX USERS, and then only for network security/penetration testing. AGAIN, it tells you this on the Kali site, and they even warn you not to use it for daily use.

I find that very hard to believe, because putting "how to enable wifi in kali linux" into Google pulls up over 432,000 hits, with several from Kali's own documentation. Which you were told to read previously.

...and unless you actually tell us what you did/tried and what the results were, what do you think we'll be able to tell you? You haven't even told us what hardware you're using.

We are not going to do Google searches for you, sorry. You have provided no details about your hardware, what you've done/tried, and are plain ignoring the advice about reading the Kali documentation and/or NOT USING KALI to start with.

Hi rahuljazz,
I won't add anything to the advice you have already received above, but I will second the recommendation that you not waste any time with Kali and try a different distro instead.
I must admit that I am increasingly surprised at the number of people getting interested in linux who decide to either start off with Kali or try it while still learning linux. It really is a narrowly focused distribution meant for IT security pros ...
