I just installed Kali Linux on Dell Inspiron 1545, and am unable to get wireless connection. I attempted the following root@kali:~# lspci -knn grep Net -A2 0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card [1028:000c] # apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi # modprobe -r iwlwifi; modprobe iwlwifi I even tried commands I used when I installed Ubuntu on the same laptop sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source sudo modprobe -r b43 bcma sudo modprobe wl How to fix? Yakub kolas prezentacya na belaruskaj move video. UPDATE I also ran sudo apt-get install kali-linux-wireless but I still cannot detect and connect to my home wi-fi.

Tried first solution I tried first solution, but when I go to Administration > System, I get package manager. I searched for everything Broadcom downloaded, installed, rebooted, but still no wireless.

There has to be an easy solution. Am trying this, I was getting errors with install. After I reboot, still no wireless detector. Update I'm trying all your suggestions. Seems I will have to read the links you provided. Who knew getting wireless would be so difficult! I will extend bounty time if possible.

Cara manual mengaktifkan fungsi wifi laptop yaitu cari switch on-off di tepi kiri/kanan atau tepi depan (biasanya ada logo wifi). Cara lain yaitu pakai usb wifi external.

May be your wireless card is in turned off state, does the laptop have any dedicated physical switch or key combo(like Fn+F3 on my acer laptop) to turn on/off Wi-Fi? Most laptops also have a LED to show Wi-Fi card state. Device firmwares are not pre installed in kali-linux(my last used version 1.0.4 can't tell about latest versions), so if not already installed, install them. Sudo apt-get install firmware-linux firmware-linux-free firmware-linux-nonfree Install Broadcom wireless card firmware sudo apt-get install firmware-brcm80211 firmware-b43-installer firmware-b43legacy-installer broadcom-sta-dkms Then use proper kernel drivers, b43 or b43legacy, iwlwifi is Intel Wi-Fi card driver so firmware-iwlwifi is not necessary. As your Wi-Fi module is made by Broadcom, so it is unnecessary to use any Intel Wi-Fi card driver, iwlwifi kernel module is for Intel Wi-Fi modules.

Does the Wi-Fi interface shows up(check with /sbin/ifconfig) as wlan0 or even as eth1? I think your card needs Proprietary Broadcom STA Wireless driver, did you installed this? About 1yr ago I had same issue with an old lenovo laptop, but finally worked smoothly on Ubuntu with bcmwl-kernel-source package.

Check it here, and hey, my name is Arnab not Arnam. – Jun 20 '15 at 4:09 •. The following question in AskUbuntu resembles to this question and the best chosen answer suggests to perform the following steps: Go to: System->Administrator->Additional Drivers(Hardware drivers) Then click to Broadcom STA wireless driver and enable it.
