Okay, so as I am understanding, you are facing issues with your WiFi, connectivity, or it’s not showing. Just give me a moment.

Here are a few steps you can try out to troubleshoot this issue:
- Check if Kali detects your Wi-Fi adapter
Open a terminal and run:
lsusb or iwconfig
If your adapter appears in the output, then Kali has detected it.
- Check if the correct drivers are installed
Run:
dmesg | grep usb
or
dmesg | grep wlan
This will show if your adapter is recognized but missing drivers.
- Install missing drivers
If your Wi-Fi adapter isn’t working, you may need to install drivers. First, check your chipset:
lsusb | grep -i "802.11"
Then, install the required driver:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install firmware-realtek
(Replace firmware-realtek with the correct driver name if needed.)
- Enable monitor mode (if needed for penetration testing)
sudo airmon-ng start wlan0
(replace wlan0 with the correct interface name from iwconfig)

hloo pls help im in need
And what have you tried to fix things yourself?
Hang on I’ll exam my crystal balls and try and guess…
If you want help, tell us what you tried, what was the outcome, what if any error messages etc none of us can see your screen!
The post above yours was very helpful, but if you only have a WiFi adapter in your system, then you can’t update it without a working internet connection, chicken nd egg situation.
In which case you either need a USB WiFi dongle that is already supported ‘out of the box’ or a USB Ethernet connection to plug in wired if possible.
If your posting to the forum via a phone, can you tether it to your system and use it to download the WiFi drivers and firmware your system needs?
