NOTE: This will be a quick example that will show you how a thread should look like.
In this thread I will be a user which is having trouble getting his wireless card working so I decide to make a thread asking for help.
Step 1: Searching
NOTE: Before creating a new thread, make sure you read our Documentation (http://docs.kali.org/), check existing post and do a bit of searching on the internet. In most cases the time you wait for your thread to be moderated + the time for someone to respond to it is a lot grater than the time it will take you to find a solution by searching.
Now whether you realize it or not most of your issues can be found by doing some simple searching, so in our case we will check:
The Kali Documentation (http://docs.kali.org/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-wireless-driver-issues)
The Aircrack-ng website (http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=compatible_cards)
Google (https://www.google.com/search?q=+zd1211rw+SIOCSIFFLAGS&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official)
We are going to pretend that we could not find any useful information here and move on with creating our thread.
Step 2: Creating an appropriate thread
* The Thread Title:
If we take a look at the Forum Rules (http://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?8-Read-this-before-posting) we can see the following:
Make your post title descriptive.
This means you will have to correctly choose a thread title in order to give the readers a clue about what that thread might contain. So do not choose titles similar to: "Help!!!", "Wireless not working =(", "Need Assistance plz!", etc.
* Introduction:
The first thing of your thread should contain a short write-up describing your problem.
* Necessary details:
After a description of your problem you need to provide the necessary details so that people will be able to assist you.
By necessary details I refer to:
Kali version (KDE/GNOME, Arhitecture)
Kali installation (VM, HDD, USB)
Basic output of commands (ifconfig, iwconfig, lspci, lsusb, dmesg, etc.)
An error message (if any)
Links to the same problem (if any)
Solutions tried and their result
WARNING: OPENING A THREAD THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE NECESSARY INFORMATION MENTIONED ABOVE WILL NO LONGER BE APPROVED!!!
