First U need internet, Get the internet by lan. Then proceed with the steps.

Though, You are using 2016.1, update the sources.list by the following repositories:

deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

After that normally install the following ..

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r) (Here U MAY get error, But proceed with the next command)

3.Then, Install synaptic by executing the following:

apt-get install synaptic -y

-Then just open synaptic and search "bcm43142".

-You will see 3 different drivers.
broadcom-sta-common
broadcom-sta-dkms
broadcom-sta-source

-Mark for installation broadcom-sta-dkms and install(or click reinstall) it.

-Restart.

The wi-fi card will show.

Hope it Helped

Detect your Kali architecture(32bit/64bit)
and Download related driver form this link

For BCM43142 download driver named "Linux STA 32/64-bit driver"
and follow instruction here

Note: This worked for me i can access wifi now.. IF THIS SOLVES YOUR PROBLEM PLEASE reply/inbox SCREENSHOTS OF COMMAND LINE
# iwconfig

because my wlan0 is detected as eth1

[KirkH420]

This is what worked for my dell 3521.
I got this from the debian repository.


1. Add a "non-free" component to /etc/apt/sources.list for your Debian version, for example:

# Debian 8 "Jessie"
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

2. Update the list of available packages. Install the relevant/latest linux-image, linux-headers and broadcom-sta-dkms packages:

# apt-get update
# apt-get install linux-image-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') broadcom-sta-dkms

*This will also install the recommended wireless-tools package. DKMS will build the wl module for your system.*

3. Unload conflicting modules:

# modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcmsmac bcma

4. Load the wl module:

# modprobe wl

VMware Workstation 12 / Kali Linux 2016.1 / TP-Link TL-WN722N - USB WiFi Not Working.

Hi,

I guess this is a common problem; however I haven't seen a concrete solution to this yet.

Background :

I have Windows 8.1 on my laptop, which has VMware Workstation 12 installed.
I have a Kali 2016.1 VM created ( from iso ).
Now I am trying to use the TP-Link TL-WN722N Wireless USB Adapter as a pass-through to Kali Linux.

I have tried installing 'backports-4.1.1-1' , 'backports-4.4.2-1' & 'modwifi-4.4-1' , but no luck.

Any suggestions ?

[Kalilinux1983]

I've the same trouble. Currently I'm running Kali in Live modality under Virtualbox but after installing updates and synaptic and restart the system (under virtualbox) all the changes are erased.
Could you help me?
