First U need internet, Get the internet by lan. Then proceed with the steps.

Though, You are using 2016.1, update the sources.list by the following repositories:

deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main non-free contrib
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security sana/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free

After that normally install the following ..

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install -y linux-headers-$(uname -r) (Here U MAY get error, But proceed with the next command)

3.Then, Install synaptic by executing the following:

apt-get install synaptic -y

-Then just open synaptic and search "bcm43142".

-You will see 3 different drivers.
broadcom-sta-common
broadcom-sta-dkms
broadcom-sta-source

-Mark for installation broadcom-sta-dkms and install(or click reinstall) it.

-Restart.

The wi-fi card will show.

Hope it Helped

Detect your Kali architecture(32bit/64bit)
and Download related driver form this link

For BCM43142 download driver named "Linux STA 32/64-bit driver"
and follow instruction here

# iwconfig

This is How I fixed this problem in Kali 2.0 and Kali Rolling

This is what worked for my dell 3521.
I got this from the debian repository.

1. Add a "non-free" component to /etc/apt/sources.list for your Debian version, for example:

# Debian 8 "Jessie"
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

2. Update the list of available packages. Install the relevant/latest linux-image, linux-headers and broadcom-sta-dkms packages:

# apt-get update
# apt-get install linux-image-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') broadcom-sta-dkms

*This will also install the recommended wireless-tools package. DKMS will build the wl module for your system.*

3. Unload conflicting modules:

# modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcmsmac bcma

4. Load the wl module:

# modprobe wl

VMware Workstation 12 / Kali Linux 2016.1 / TP-Link TL-WN722N - USB WiFi Not Working.

Hi,

I guess this is a common problem; however I haven't seen a concrete solution to this yet.

Background :

I have Windows 8.1 on my laptop, which has VMware Workstation 12 installed.
I have a Kali 2016.1 VM created ( from iso ).
Now I am trying to use the TP-Link TL-WN722N Wireless USB Adapter as a pass-through to Kali Linux.
