We have notebooks where there is an internal wifi receiver(system) BUT we use a external AWUSO36H USB wifi reciever.
We have the same problem you have on our Hp computers. To use any external or internal wifi with kali-linux you must get the internal wifi system working.
1, Make sure the wireless system is turned on in your BIOS.
2. Switch the internal wireless system ON with the manual button or switch.
IF this doesnot turn on your ability to use your wireless with Kali-linux, you will have to install windows and dual boot kali-linux.
Once windows is installed get your internal wireless working under windows. Once working restart and dual boot into linux. Never turn your wireless off with the manual switch. Now you can plug in an external wirless. If you switch off the internal wireless with the button or switch, turning the switch back on may not restore the wifi system. You may have to boot into windows, get your wifi working and then boot up kali-linux again. One notebook only requires the switch to be on, the other notebook requires the switch to be turned on under windows only. But once ON, you can boot into kali-linux. And as long as you do not manually turn the internal wifi system off you can cold boot straight into kali-linux.
