Hey all I am a noob to Linux.

I have done a iso install of Kali Linux 2017.1. This is not dual booting. Its the only operating system on the pc.

I can connect via ethernet to the internet fine.

No issues there. However, i can not through wifi. It believe drivers seem good as it even shows me the wifi connections to connect to in network manager. I also tried to install Wicd and it finds the networks also. However, it gets hungup when verifying authentication. Im using WPA-1/2 passphrase. Which i read so far is what i should be using. Im not sure why it is getting hung up there and I know im using the correct password.

BTW when i first start my computer up it seems to connect to the wifi but with no internet access then drops it all together. When i try to reconnect it does not work.

Please any info that you would need or that can help please let me know.
