Despite this issue being so common (after long search) I am still unable to fix it.

Kali 2 is the host. No VM
There was no issue during installation, it detected the wife networks and was able to connect
There's a button/switch on my keyboard that toggles Airplane mode. Toggling that button hard-blocks everything (bluetooth and so) but toggling it again removes hard block from everything but 0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN remains blocked.
The machine has Windows installed and Wifi works fine.



root@F84:~# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:off/any

Thanks! This solved the issue!

I had tried putting those on the file but I didn't know the right name.



blacklist acer_wmi
blacklist acer-wmi
blacklist wmi

for me this worked :
sudo modprobe -r ideapad_laptop

you might have to put acer_laptop
or whatever is it called
just type in : sudo modprobe -r
in google and your laptop model it should say whats the name that you have to write
