Hello all,
I'm just getting into security, and have decided to upgrade from BT 5 to Kali. I never had an issue with my wireless card in BT 5, but I can't seem to get it workin correctly in Kali. I have it installed both on a VM and on a physical drive. When I run ifconfig or iwconfig I don't see my card. However when I run lsusb I get the following:
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR9271 802.11n
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0e0f:0003 VMware, Inc. Virtual Mouse
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0e0f:0002 VMware, Inc. Virtual USB Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
As you can see the wireless card is being recognized by the usb port.
When I run dmesg it looks like I'm missing either firmware or a driver. I'm not sure which it is nor do I know where to download it from or how to install it. See below:
[39290.874188] usb 1-1: Product: UB91C
[39290.874188] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: ATHEROS
[39290.874189] usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 12345
[39290.878160] usb 1-1: ath9k_htc: Firmware htc_9271.fw requested
[39291.050676] usb 1-1: firmware: agent aborted loading htc_9271.fw (not found?)
[39291.050785] usb 1-1: ath9k_htc: USB layer deinitialized
[39295.412443] pcnet32 0000:02:00.0 eth0: link up
Any advice on how to solve this would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks
