Kali linux 1.0.9 Wlan0 not found

Question

I am running Linux Kali 1.0.9-amd64 on the Dell core i3 Inspiron.When I type 'ifconfig' on Kali I don't get any information on wlan0.

Solution

I think

1. You may not have sufficient privileges

2. Run ip n show

3. Run ifconfig again.

Do you get exactly no output? If you do get output, but not on wlan0, you may have an old wireless card that isn't wlan0. It might show something like this:

lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM> inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 nd6 options=1<PERFORMNUD>

That's the info that you want, just you're wireless card interface has a different name.
