    WiFi card doesn't work

    Hi I have Lenovo Y50-70 using BCM4352, and the lastest version of Kali(downloaded a few days ago). For 2 days i have tried to install WiFi card drivers, because it doesn't work. I have searched in many forums, and websites, but i didn't find something useful. If someone had the same problem and solved it, pls help me :)

    in addition I can said that i tried what ghost.sh wrote here : https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...hlight=BCM4352
    but it also does't work

    Have you copied missing wifi drivers in /lib/firmware? During the installation, installer asks for missing drivers. You should download those which were asked by the installer earlier.

    Yeah I also thought that when I installed kali-linux. But after installation I found that some of my wireless drivers were still missing. I managed to copy the missing drivers because I took a note of missing drivers installer was asking and kernel used to demand on boot screen.

    Picking missing drivers by installer is a hit&miss. As your wireless adapter is not working I believe there are some missing drivers which were missed by the installer.

    That "something else" should only be that which is missing. Have you ever noticed any error kernel displays on boot screen like "failed to load xxxx123.ucode". That could be them.

    Anyway can you show output of rfkill list all?

    I also see that your kernel is not the latest version. Latest is Linux 4.8.0-kali2-amd64. Are all linux headers also installed?

    Thx _default for your help, i have soled it. My first problem was that I destroyed my kali, with some tutorials "how to install wifi card" which i found in web. So today I had reinstalled my system and then I tried this https://wiki.debian.org/wl and after reboot my wifi card have started to work.

    Thank you for your help, and I hope that this solution will be helpful for others.
