Wlan0 not showing up after killing it with "airmon-ng start wlan0" and then "Kill (PID)"

[Marwan]

So i used the command "airmong-ng start wlan0@ then killed the internet and after that wlan0 never showed up again no matter what i did.
i tried restarting my network manager and i tried restarting Kali Linux and nothing works, and it seems that my internet works fine since since i can access the forums...
i run Kali Linux 2020.2 on VMware 15.5 pro which i just installed yesterday so i am a complete newbie.

Network adapter: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 Wireless Network Adapter

so what i was trying to do is to hack an internet and i was following a guide and seems that i failed hard for my 1st hack ever :D any idea how to make wlan0 show up again after killing it

[dustednoob]

as i know You have to kill the pid(s) first. perhaps thats what goes wrong ? only a suggestion
I had the same wifi card as pci card before i changed over to a dual band USB adapter.
worked pretty good.

1)
airmon-ng check kill

2)
airmon-ng start wlan0

on my other wifi adapter (USB) it works little different: and there i don't have the wlan0mon - i have the wlan0 (but everything works fine as it should)

ifconfig wlan0 down
airmon-ng check kill
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0 up
airmon-ng start wlan0 (to check if the wlan0 is already in monitor mode), can skip this step

what I recognized using my USB wifi adapter and ethernet adapter together, while the ethernet was in use,
the system often shut down my USB adapter - but that should not be an issue with a pci wifi card i think.
