Hi All,
I am new to Kali and I am unable to install compact-wireless-2010-10-26-p to solve wlan0 (no wireless device). Please see the error in the screenshot attached below:

Videos available to install compact-wireless-2010-10-26-p show no error while running "make load"
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

It Sounds like a big headache for nothing...
Compact-wireless is deprecated since a long time, it is now called "backport".
I guess you will have issues to use it with your kernel
And check it out : The version you want to use are from 2010 !
Kali has backport installed with the latest drivers available and for sure also the oldest ones.
What model is your wifi chipset?

that doesn't tell us a lot...but we can see that you have a ralink internal chipset.
could you give us the stdout of
installing old drivers from 2010 won't work, forget about this, this not the way.Code:dmesg | grep -i ralink
We have to identify correctly the chipset to no what can be done..
I assume that you are not using a virtual machine, because virtual machine doesn't allow you to use internal wifi card.
cheers
I should have mentioned earlier that I am running Kali 2.0 on VM. I wasn't aware of the fact.
The code you provided didn't return anything.
Thanks again for you insight.
Can you please suggest which USB wifi adapter I should use?
Thanks,

Why don't you use live mode instead of buying an extra device?
It is more powerfull than a VM (one system running, not two) and you do not have this kind of limitations :
You can use your wifi internal card as you are running kali linux as if it was installed, just it is not, it is live mode.
You just need a 4GB (or more) USB flash memory and one of this freeware to mount your linux live system.
Everything is explained here : kali linux live usb install
Maybe my "greping" was not accurate... but if it was it means that the hardware was not even detected.Quote:

That's a huge question... basicaly any adapter that is fully compatible with mode monitor and injection.Quote:

It is always better if the device has detachable antenna(s).
For low budget I usually recommend tp-link wn722n, it costs around 12€, it has a decent 4dBi antenna and the chipset ar9271 is not bad at all.
If you can invest more money than he reference brand is Alfa Network.
