I am new to Linux so please bare with me.
I preformed a fresh install of Kali Linux on my laptop,so now the only operating system available is Kali Linux.
Here's my problem: My laptop cannot connect to the Internet through the already built-in wireless card.
My laptop wireless card is: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200 2x2 AGN and although the system says that it using the kernal drivers for iwlwifi there is still no wireless Internet connection.
I tried changing the interfaces file under /etc/network/interfaces and added:
# The primary network interfaces
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
Still no luck.
Here's the ifconfig details:
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.77 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet6 fe80::223:18ff:febe:ab8e prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether 00:23:18:be:ab:8e txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 27689 bytes 27448393 (26.1 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 15299 bytes 1495734 (1.4 MiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device interrupt 20 memory 0xd4600000-d4620000 lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host> loop txqueuelen 1 (Local Loopback) RX packets 2460 bytes 187820 (183.4 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 2460 bytes 187820 (183.4 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 wlan0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:27:10:94:a8:3c txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
Here's the iwconfig details:
lo no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"ATT653" Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=15 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off eth0 no wireless extensions. NOTE: For the ESSID, I manually added "ATT653" using
ifconfig wlan0 up iwconfig wlan0 essid "ATT653" dhclient wlan0 This didn't work because my network is WPA2 encrypted.
Here's the wireless card information:
