View Full Version : wireless interface disappeared
Wireless card disappeared on Kali 2.0
I cannot longer see them.
airmon-ng doesnt show a thing
but when I do airmon-ng start wlan0 it shows like its trying to start the process
also dmesg shows the wireless interface
do you see your card if you type " iwconfig " ?
I do not see it under iwconfig.
I do see it under "dmesg" and it shows
product UB91
etc.
Any way to turn it on manually ? I do not see the activity light but it does show under lsusb as well.
Atheros Comm AR9271 802.11n
Does the driver need to be install or something?
