The link below to the Kali documentation explains the basic problem most users have when first using Kali. If you are not knowledgeable in computer forensics and Linux but want to learn, you will need to at least spend hundreds of hours learning and the best place to do that is at the Kali site which is extremely well documented. The wireless issue is extremely common with new users of Kali and I have seen numerous posts in regard to it here. Do an online search for something that basic. The second link is the general Kali documentation, read it if you are serious about computer forensics.

And most probably the problem is not Kali Linux specific. Last time when I booted Linux mint I faced the same problem. And after searching for hours I got to know my WiFi adapter Realtek RTL8821CE does not have WiFi drivers for Linux mint. I thought it to be a problem with Linux mint or Ubuntu derivatives. But now I am facing the same problem with kali Linux. Pls help.
And thanks for replying.

Read the LQ Rules about not using text-speak, please. And yes, it probably *IS* Kali specific...again, did you read that sticky post, and the posts on Kali's own website, telling you specifically that it's for advanced Linux users, and even then only for pentesting/security testing? Wifi is disabled by default....having a security-related distro with open wifi isn't too good of an idea, so you've got to work a bit to get it turned on.

And Kali IS a Debian-based system...just like Mint and Ubuntu. You're far better off using Mint. And if you put "RTL8821CE linux mint" into Google, you'd find:

...the very first hit, telling you how to get it working.

First of all: kali is not meant to learn cyber security.
Next, in your original post you did not give enough details to [be able to] help you.
So please specify your hardware, especially the wifi adapter, what did you try, what's happened and what can be found in the logs.

Result of iwconfig and ifconfig.

I have tried the https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce project. But it didn't work.

Is there a reason you just ignored what everyone is telling you about NOT using Kali? About how you could get this working under Mint easily? About how Kali **HAS WIFI DISABLED**???

AGAIN: Kali is for **ADVANCED LINUX USERS**, and you start by saying that you're not; it would be a very good idea to load ANYTHING other than Kali, and Kali's own website tells you this. You were directed to the stick post in this very forum to read about Kali...did you read it?

What do you mean by did not work? I don't think kali comes with the sofware by default needed to compile and install the wifi driver.

I have gone through the sticky. So which OS should I choose? Will Linux Mint fulfill my purpose of learning cyber security or should I go for any other linux distro?

I have already installed the wifi drivers.

Will strengthening your general physical condition help you become a football star? Yes.
So yes, start learning general GNU/Linux first.

There's also another sticky thread in this same forum that talks about that very subject.

I'd suggest you also read Linux Newbies - How To Choose A Distro

The same tools you would find in Kali can be installed on virtually any other distribution, and will do exactly the same things. Kali, and as said above, will NOT TEACH YOU HOW TO HACK, period. If you really wanted to learn, then you would learn the tools, and about how Linux works, not kid yourself into thinking that using Kali is going to make you a "hacker", it won't - it will just make you yet another script kiddie who has no clue about what they are doing.

did you look at the log that was suggested to see what went wrong?
