Hello everyone,
I decided to make a post on this forum because after several hours of research and unsuccessful attempts I am completely blocked. This is the first time I use a linux as an OS on my daily computer. My problem: I can't connect with wifi, in the settings in the GUI I don't have wifi and via the CLI I can't see the interface (see below).
View attachment 12069

I wish to stay on kali linux, understand and especially succeed in making my wifi work, for the moment I use an ethernet cable in order to have access to internet.
After following this tutorial, I managed to have the wifi option available, then on reboot it disappeared and I couldn't put it back, there are some things I must have misunderstood.
I followed this thread but I didn't manage to correct my problem, that's why I open a new thread.
I tried to install the drivers and some work around similar problems, here is some informations:

Apparently my drivers do not seem to be installed...

I thank you in advance for your help and I thank you for reading.
 


Welcome to the forums
OK. you have learnt your first lesson, to install and use Kali you need to be fully experienced using both Linux and the command line.
Inxi shows the correct drivers are installed.for your Realtek wi-fi.
Have you got the hard block on? if its a laptop

Thank you very much for your answer, indeed the Realtek RTL8153 driver seems to be installed but it seems to me that it is my ethernet adapter.

Yes it's a ASUS laptop.

I didn't know about this.

Apparently this is not the case.
 
ok looking back through the forum I found this post [also an ASUS gaming lappy]

(SOLVED) Wifi adaptator not found MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 MT7921 Wireless LAN Card

I am not on linux but I spent hours on this problem on a brand new Asus gaming laptop and I wish I could credit the original poster but it was a video that led me to this solution: Hold down the power button for a full 60 seconds and it resets your bluetooth and wifi then restart. Completely...
linux.org linux.org
 
Thank you, I had not come across this thread before, obviously after staying pressed for almost 60seconds on my power button the wifi seems to work. I thank you for your help. Have a nice evening.
 
@RoroG
this solution puzzled me, so after a lot of surfing and reading various explanations, this is how I interpret it.
By holding down the power button for at least 40 seconds forces the system to interrupt the power from the CMOS battery [that's the little round one on the motherboard] draining any power from the capacitors, this clears most conflicts in the Bios as, when power is restored the Bios is forced into a re-boot,
A great little trick, but only available on a few new laptops at the moment [usually those with the main battery not easy to remove or inbuilt]
I hope everything is stable now.

Bwiz
 
I reopen this thread because after a second reboot, I unfortunately do not have the wifi option anymore... I think there must be a more viable solution than resetting the CMOS stack at each startup

Sorry, we have gone through everything I can think of, All I can add is this problem only started a year or so back when manufacturers [especially Asus and HP] moved some of their products from Intel or Realteck network managers to Mediateck
 
Just had a thought, as it appears to be BIOS related, have you checked if there is an update available?
 
Try
Code: 
sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-firmware
I believe it's a firmware issue for Mediatek, judging from others with a similar concern.

@Brickwizard I will check this out, but it seems to me that it is up to date

From what I remember I had tried that but I had not succeeded in correcting this error (I do not know if I had really spent time on it) in any case I will try to correct it.

Update: after executing the following command
Code: 
sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-firmware
and restarting the pc I still have the same problem.
 
@Brickwizard is this the right way to check:

Code:

└─$ sudo dmidecode | grep -i bios

Debian used to be so much fun when it came to wifi! :rolleyes: It appears to still be, with Kali.
Short of buying an Alfa wireless adapter, this thread I came across points to firmware, still,
mediatek-firmware-not-working-on-debian-11-2-0 as a solutiuon.
