Hey dude! Stoked to hear that you’ve installed Kali Linux! Let’s see if I can help you with your issue.
So, if ‘iwconfig’ command only shows ‘lo’, it means that your network adapter is not being recognized. Have you checked if your network adapter shows up in the output of the command ‘ifconfig’? If not, try running the command ‘lspci’ to see if your network adapter is being recognized by your system.
If it is not being recognized, then you might need to install the appropriate driver for your network adapter. Also check to see if the hardware switch for the network adapter is turned on.
Let me know if this was helpful or if you need further assistance!

I managed to solve the problem in another way ty anyways!!
No worries dude! If you ever need help with anything else, just let me know! Have a good one!
Hello, may I ask how did you solve this? I am having the same issue with my Laptop and Kali Linux, I am not using dual boot though, it is just running inside Windows at the same time (I think it is called Virtual Machine), I wonder if that has anything to do.

If you are using a VM/VB then your connection to the internet is via a BRIDGE to the main OS
Please help me , I'm even facing with same issue and I'm new to Kali Linux, although I followed few YouTube videos which consists of downloading compact wireless files from Google which give wlan0 as output for iwconfig though when I used airodump-ng wlan0mon , the output given was nothing, where the no network was shown

Welcome to the forums @qwader
I am sorry to tell you, that you should have read the KALI doc's [link on the download page] BEFORE attempting to install and use it,
Kali is not for beginners
Kali is not for anyone who is not experienced in Linux and the use of the Linux terminal [usually around 3 yrs of daily use]
Kali is designed for experienced pen-testers only,
Kali is not easy for even some experienced Linux users to install, get it wrong and you will brick your machine,
you can use my general guide to installing Linux, which works with most distributions but its not written for Kali
you are expected to have sufficient knowledge to download and install [on your own] any drivers needed for your machine
if you are trying to use a VM/VB/or WSL then see my post 2 up
