Hi all,
I am not new to linux, but I am very far away from saying I know what I am doing. I have recently bought a new laptop and installed the latest Kali distro on to it. After booting up there is no wireless icon in the top left of the screen and I was wondering if anyone could help me on the below:
The Wireless card is a Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz, and driver have been downloaded from here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/wireless.html
Troubleshooting:
sudo apt full-upgrade -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt autoremove
$ sudo lshw -C network

Driver downloaded from Intel where copied to /lib/firmware and machine rebooted. Although the new drivers did not add the network card they are not listed in the above errors.
Firmware was downloaded from this link (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/about/) and added to lib/firmware, but still no joy.
Following this I presumed that the network card does not have "proper" support in linux and therefore bought a TPlink AC1300 as advised on a website to be fully compatible with Kali. However I have plugged this in and now I can't see it and I am getting to the end of my rope.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
kind regards,
Chris

[ 6.341785] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: check git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
Driver downloaded from Intel where copied to /lib/firmware and machine rebooted. Although the new drivers did not add the network card they are not listed in the above errors.
Firmware was downloaded from this link (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/about/) and added to lib/firmware, but still no joy.
Following this I presumed that the network card does not have "proper" support in linux and therefore bought a TPlink AC1300 as advised on a website to be fully compatible with Kali. However I have plugged this in and now I can't see it and I am getting to the end of my rope.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
kind regards,
Chris
