lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
everything is okay. why not showing other wireless network signal. Windows 7 showing four(4) different wireless network signal and i use very good. I dont understand what is the problem?. How to resolve this problem.
I have tried getting Kali 2.0.1 to work with a Raspberry and RT18192CU without succes
I've been testing the ARM image provided from the Kali download page, for the Raspberry Pi2. It is just unreliable.
The graphical interface crashes pretty much at will. Although that's another issue.
I tested two different usb wireless adaptors both happened to be "recognized" by Kali as RT8192CU.
One is an Edimax and the other 300M wireless adaptor.
Although both are recognized and listed using the airmon-ng command.
Once the airmon-ng start wlanX is executed, it never starts mon0.
Based on the comments on this forum, it seems, I am not the only one having issues.
There is very little documentation on it, and the only advice from Kali Linux, is to read the documentation carefully.
I guess, it serves me right for using shady software...
