Forum Thread: [HELP] [NEWBIE] Lost Wifi Connection in Kali 2.0

I kind of have the same problem

If all that Dont work then try rebooting and boot into recovery mode and then it asks for root password and you type your root password after that it gives you a terminal-like space so u type "sudo ifconfig wlan0(or any other network interface) up" it should work. You can test it by typing ifconfig. If you see the wlan0 interface information then it worked your Wireless card is back. Up and running. Thank you.

Only restart and everything is normal

There are two cases with adapters in Kali Linux:-

Either the device works out of the box and you use it pain free like in windows or MAC

It don't work out of the box, then it takes hell a lot of time to set up and maybe wont support all the functions that it should.

This works. Thank you.

Not working dude

Maybe you have to just flip up the first command line with the second! It's working ,i've got the same prob thanks

Thank you so much !! Signed up just to say thanks !!

Interesting. I had a similar issue where my wifi would stay connected for a few moments at a time and then drop suddenly without saying it was disabled or that there was a change in connectivity. I solved it by going into Wifi Settings and disabling ipv6 in my current network's settings. I dunno if this will fix your issue or not, but it worked like a champ for me.

My problem is SOLVED !!! Tnx guys so much, i absolutely will be more careful next time when i do Airmon :))))

but hey guys, i just wonder if there a way to reset kali to stock form (of course not reinstalling), like factory reset on Android, to help solve problems if something went wrong???

There is recovery mode .

The reason you had this problem is because when you are killing these processes with airmon-ng kill the airmon-ng program kills all processes that can cause interference with your wireless chip being placed into monitor mode. Now this isn't always required, but if you want to connect to wifi after putting your card into monitor mode, you can reboot, or do the commands listed above. Next time try

"airmon-ng check kill" because then it will list the programs it checks and then kill them.

Hey, i think i did the same thing but I'm not sure.
I already tried all those commands but no success.
Wlan is not listed on network-manager tab so I can't search for Wi-Fi.
I can still use wlan0 with monitor mode(airmon-ng) but I can't conect to any network. Reboot didn't solve the problem.

Take a look at the screenshot:

Thanks man . Before i saw your reply to the problem i reinstalled pmy parrot sec becuase of the scaredness and it didnt work either the problem was still there untill i saw your reply thanks thanks thanks you very muched saved my ass

service network-manager restart this is the command to restart your wireless interface an di works 100%

i reboot aend go through recovery mode. but when i proceed command "sudo service network-manager restart" it shows "network-manager not found. when type "ifconfig wlan0 up" it shows failed.

Hello new user here....also a newbie but i found the proper command its airmon-ng stop wlan0mon then restart your network manager (service network-manager restart)

Try this newbi hackers:
#sudo airmon-ng stop wlanmon
#sudo airmon-ng stop wlan0mon
//(where wlan0mon is my interfacecard)

This helped! Thank you ??

i have booted kalilinux in usb persistenece , when i run airmon-ng in terminal

, wifi connection goes off and it shows wifi adpater isnt connected or something like that and when i reboot again then it shows wifi adapter is available ,what should i do?

Command

sudo service network-manager start

Should fix it

If not than

ifconfig

If you see wlan0 then it should be working fine. Restart network manager with

sudo service network-manager restart

If you see wlan0mon or wlanmon, or any variant of that then

airmon-ng stop wlan0mon
Or whatever your interface is named in place of wlan0mon.

Then either start or restart network manager if taking it out of monitor mode doesn't work.

I had a similar issue but this one works.
In terminal enter
Airmon-ng stop wlan
Sudo service network -manager restart
Now check your Wi-Fi options in right top corner.
It works
