    Inbuilt wireless not working

    Hi, im fairly new to kali linux and linux in general and after installing i ran into a problem.
    I run Kali Linux 2.0 on a Acer Aspire V3-574G and after running all updates still nothing.
    When installing kali linux it did say something about missing firmware, ath10k or something, but when i run lsmod it finds ath10k_core and ath10k_pci.
    I ran lspci and it shows my wireless driver (03:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros Device 003e (rev 20)
    I tried installing NDISWRAPPER so i could install the wifi driver, but didnt come further than the make command, since i got an error saying i was missing kernel headers.
    I reinstalled Kali several times but to no success.
    Just tell me if you need me to post some output from different commands.

    If you're new to Linux, Kali is going to be very difficult for you. It's not as friendly, or forgiving, as Ubuntu, Mint, etc.

    I'd strongly urge you to get familiar with another distro before tackling Kali.

    That being said, posting the output of dmesg, or some of the pertinent logs in /var/log would help.
