running into some issues getting wireless working with kali 1.0.5. So the background is I am trying to get Kali working on a surface pro (gen 1). It has a Marvell Avastar 350n 88W8797 wireless adapter. It shows as a usb device when I run lsusb.
My first issue was that the firmware was not loaded with my install. ok, simple enough. I went to the marvell git repo (git.marvell.com) and found latest firmware and copied to /lib/firmware/mrvl. ok, now I got 3 new interfaces (mlan0, uap0 and p2p0) and network-manager is seeing wifi networks. But I cannot connect to them. Mine is WPA2-PSK and I just get re-prompted for the password. I killed encryption temporarily and made it wide open - still no go. Now it looks like I have kernel dumps in the logs. I hope there's someone who can point me in a direction. below are some log snips. Happy to provide any additional info needed
