Hello everyone,

Over the last few days I have been trying to figure out why my TP-Link WN722N wireless adapter will not connect to any WiFi access points while on Kali Linux. I apologize if I miss including any information but I will try to list as much as I can. I am currently running Kali Linux rolling 2016.1 which was installed on a partitioned hard drive that I duel boot with windows. I have an internal WiFi card that can connect to my APs but the TPLink will not. It shows up in Network Settings but after I type in the password of my AP and hit connect; it closes the screen and does not connect. I have checked ifconfig and I do not notice anything out of the ordinary when compared to my internal card. I have tried to disable the internal card but when I do, it disables the TP-Link usb adapter as well. When I run dmesg, one of the lines says that wlan1: link is not ready. The only red text that I see in dmesg is "phy: Failed to wakeup in 500us" I have removed some personal numbers in the code and replaced them with #'s.

ifconfig:

If this is not enough to help with the issue let me know and I will add more. I tried to put it in monitor mode and it seemed to work but as soon as I do that, Kali stops recognizing it all together. Another thing not sure if this is anything but on my laptop the wifi button with flash every 5 seconds or so. Normally in Windows it stays a solid blue when on and red when off. I have restarted network services multiple times, I have updated, upgraded and dist-upgraded Kali as well and I have searched all over for an answer but I cannot find a single thing. Thank you for your time and I hope someone will be able to shed some light on this issue.
