    Wifi Adapters not working after upgrade.

    Kali-Linux on a Pi-4

    Since updating with the most current distribution I am unable to get my wlan to work or even show up.

    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

    ip a
    1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo

    2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether dc:a6:32:5d:6e:18 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.0.0.53/24 brd 10.0.0.255 scope global dynamic eth0
    valid_lft 603928sec preferred_lft 603928sec

    Neither internal nor external wifi adapters work.

    Many hours of attempted fixes have no yield.

    Types of attempts:

    /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf - Change Country

    compat-wireless-2010-06-26-p.tar.bz

    apt update && apt dist-upgrade

    rfkill

    service network-manager & networking restart.


    Any input is valued.

    Thanks

    As a side note, compat-wireless hasn't been updated in years, you tried to install drivers that are almost 10 years old.
