Hi Everyone, so I've scoured the internet for help on this problem, and so far I haven't had any success with the remedies.

I've tried:
Updating Kali and re-installing kernel headers.

Setting interface into promiscuous mode.

Pings get to ~10 successful pings after connecting to a wired connection. I assume this is the time to fully switch over from wireless to wired.

Here is the output from lspci -v about the eth0 adapter

08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8152 v1.1 Fast Ethernet (rev c1)

here's the output from ifconfig eth0

Thanks guys. I'm a Kali newbie, using it for a class in school, and I took the initiative to install it on my machine instead of just using the school's computers.

Try reloading network services: service networking reload or /etc/init.d/networking reload

See if you got a valid ip: ifconfig -a

If no ip yet, run the dhclient: dhclient eth0

Now see if you have an ip: ifconfig -a

Please post your /etc/network/interfaces file.
