In the past I used Kali Linux 2019.2 then upgraded to 2020.2 and wifi option was working fine. Recently few days ago freshly installed 2021.3 (amd64) on the same computer. But my wifi option isn?t working.


Note: if I reboot my computer it?s automatically connected with wifi (maybe because of I entered password while installaton) but on the available networks wifi network names not showing up. If turn off and turn on again my router, computer can?t connect to the network again.

The specific firmware 3168NGW not found on intel website https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/wireless.html but it was working on old releases of Kali Linux

Can anyone help me to figure out this
