Hey guys, I recently bought a HP Pavilion laptop(HP Pavilion 15 AB522TX to be more specific) and I just installed Kali Linux 2016.1 64-bit on dual boot with Windows 10 which came pre-installed. As the title says, I cannot use my wifi on Kali at all. It isn't detected in my settings or anywhere else except for lspci and lsusb. I will post the results of each command for better understanding of my problem. I hope you guys can help me figure this out. Oh, and my wireless card is working all good with windows and there is no switch(physical or "fn+something) for the wifi, so it is always turned on.
I couldn't post the dmesg results as it was way too long and the forum didn't permit me to. Hope this is enough, if that is needed, let me know, I will find out a way to post that too.
P.S : Sorry if this was a noob-ish post. I tried everything I could to fix it by myself, when I couldn't I'm turning towards more experienced people.
All the commands are from the troubleshooting post. If I missed any, let me know, I will check that out too.
Code:
# airmon-zc --verbose
bash: airmon-zc: command not found
