Good day

I have been trying to install a custom Kali Linux Distro

Every thing installs and runs OK except I can't connect to the internet

so I asked in there forms ,, they told me ,, to install the firmware

I did that and still no luck ,,,, then I installed all my drivers from the CD that came with the PC ,,, still no luck

any help please ?? All it keeps asking me is for Mac address ,, I have typed the Mac address

still when I do ifconfig I don't see eth0 or eth1 I I have is
 


You have to know the name of your Ethernet card and then install drivers. If you were using Windows or another distribution, drivers you intalled will not work.
 
Try typing <lspci>. That command will list all the detected PCI devices. Network interfaces are likely to appear near the bottom of the output.
 
Thanks Oldman I did as you told me and I got this
Code: 
lspci

You've got an Atheros device. Next thing to do is something like:
Code: 
lsmod | grep -i atheros
and see what output you get. If nothing, you're missing the driver.

Nothing is showing up //// what to do next ???

Going forward, if you need to install a Linux distro, I would test it first by running it through the DVD or USB Stick and see if that particular distro will run the hardware that is on your system. Believe me, a lesson I had to learn the hard way :mad: :).
