Why can't I get wireless connections but I can get Internet on Kali Linux?

Question

So, when I try to connect to a WiFi network on Kali Linux, it won't give me any WiFi networks. But so long as the windows WiFi is connected, it will give me internet. So, I know the WiFi works somehow. What I don't know is why can't I get wireless networks to show up on Kali Linux terminal?

root@kali:~# iwconfig
eth0      no wireless extensions.

lo        no wireless extensions.

Here are the contents of the file you asked for:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Solution

i think , you are using kali linux in VM on any host machine (window ) . if i am right than it will not show wifi in VM . you have attached wifi device on host machine not in virtual machine. there is no wifi device attached on VM . you can access wifi in host system only . for VM(Kali machine) internet you have to do NAT , Bridge etc. that ip will show on ifconfig command in terminal .
