    Angry Wlan0 not showing up after killing it with "airmon-ng start wlan0" and then "Kill (PID)"

    So i used the command "airmong-ng start wlan0@ then killed the internet and after that wlan0 never showed up again no matter what i did.
    i tried restarting my network manager and i tried restarting Kali Linux and nothing works, and it seems that my internet works fine since since i can access the forums...
    i run Kali Linux 2020.2 on VMware 15.5 pro which i just installed yesterday so i am a complete newbie.

    Network adapter: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 Wireless Network Adapter

    here are some commands that would prob might help you. idk

    as i know You have to kill the pid(s) first. perhaps thats what goes wrong ? only a suggestion
    I had the same wifi card as pci card before i changed over to a dual band USB adapter.
    worked pretty good.

    1)
    airmon-ng check kill

    2)
    airmon-ng start wlan0

    on my other wifi adapter (USB) it works little different: and there i don't have the wlan0mon - i have the wlan0 (but everything works fine as it should)

    ifconfig wlan0 down
    airmon-ng check kill
    iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
    ifconfig wlan0 up
    airmon-ng start wlan0 (to check if the wlan0 is already in monitor mode), can skip this step

    what I recognized using my USB wifi adapter and ethernet adapter together, while the ethernet was in use,
    the system often shut down my USB adapter - but that should not be an issue with a pci wifi card i think.
