Hi, I have Kali on a VMware box running with an alfa awus036nhr. Note I've done apt-get updates and upgrade as welll as the new software updater.
To the issue! Kali seems to work way better than BT in every area but one. The network manager will connect to WiFi but will lose connection a minute or two later. The nm-applet will remain showing that I'm connected with max or near max connection but I won't be able to ping the other nodes, router, nor my own address. I've realized that the NetworkManager is only version 0.9.4.1. So I tried upgrading then uninstalling/reinstalling, both end up with version 0.9.4 again. Kali thinks version 0.9.4 is the latest i guess.
I did have problems with WICD on bt 5, so I uninstalled that and started using NetworkManager version 0.9.6. That version worked fine. So how can I update the NetworkManager to a newer version? Is anyone else having this problem?
