Wireless Network Card issues

[anonomii14]

Hey guys,

I want to use airmon-ng and I can't determine if my wireless card will work or not. And which driver I would have to install. I did find a page on their website, but it was not very helpful, it confused me a tad!

I have an Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 Wi-Fi card.

When I go to the driver in Windows it says:

Driver Provider: Intel
Driver Date: 12/16/2014
Driver Version: 17.13.12.1

I want to be able to use airmon-ng and use the monitor mode and packet injection. Currently when I go to terminal and type in iwconfig i get the following:

root:~# iwconfig
lo          no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

and when I type in ifconfig, I get the following:

root:~# ifconfig
eth0     Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
           inet addr:192.168.2.5  Bcast: 192.168.2.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0

I am running Kali in a Virtual Machine. I have the network settings set to bridged. When I had it set to network host I could not get an internet connection on the VM, but I had it on the host. Any ideas?

Thank in advance!

Looks like your wireless card is not found, as there's no wlan interface. Is your card external or internal? Are you running VMWare or Virtualbox?

Anything weird listed when you run dmesg?

Personally, I've had better luck with wireless in Kali in native mode. That is, I have a laptop configured to dual boot Windows and Kali.

First of all you should run in native mode, so you can find the wireless interface. The VM is much more difficult to handle the wireless devices and I suggest you run in native mode.

Nevertheless, my machine is Dell Inspiron 5558 and I have the same network card: Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 Wi-Fi card.
As you can see in specs of the card http://ark.intel.com/products/75442/...reless-AC-3160 you can see in the section Supported Operating Systems that for Linux has limited features. I think that this card may contraint us.

If only somebody knew something more specific...
