Kali wont see my wifi nic in my Lenovo Yoga 2 11

sgtkeebler · Jul 20, 2015

so I was wondering instead of messing around and trying to fix it becasue I think its just not compatible. Can I just purchase a compatible wifi usb adapter and bypass my computer wireless nic? I found the perfect card that has good reviews working with Kali so I ordered it. If not does anyone know a fix for wifi nic in the Lenovo Yoga 2 11 and kali?

Why are you running Kali if you have no idea about WiFi chipsets or the linux kernel drivers??

Just stick with the latest Ubuntu and you will be OK.

i know about wifi chipsets trying to learn linux. and so far on my vm I setup tor and all kinds of other stuff, but now that im trying to dual boot my win 8.1 machine i cant get the wifi card going. So im trying to figure out if I can bypass my computer nic with a plug n play adapter for kali

trying to learn linux

In that case Kali is totally inappropriate. As Skittle says, use Ubuntu or another user-friendly distribution.

Of course, you will take no heed of us. But you should note what the Kali developers say:

Is Kali Linux Right For You?

As the distribution’s developers, you might expect us to recommend that everyone should be using Kali Linux. The fact of the matter is, however, that Kali is a Linux distribution specifically geared towards professional penetration testers and security specialists,and given its unique nature, it is NOT a recommended distribution if you’re unfamiliar with Linux

And at least from running lspci -nn -d 14e4
My nic doesn't even show which I take it that means it isn't compatible. So I'm going to wait for this Linux company to send me my adapter.

Your google-fu is weak. The top 10 searches for "yoga pro ubuntu wifi" will show you the answer: Blacklist the ideapad_laptop module

Code:

sudo rmmod ideapad_laptop
sudo service network-manager restart

Thanks man that's all I wanted to know. I read somewhere that some guy had a zip called WiFiFix, and it was a zip not a tar but the file inside it was Linux compatible, but his instructions aren't so clear . I run and run the commands he says but keeps erroring. So guess I will try that when I get home

Its weird the touch screen works perfectly fine all other drivers work fine, but network is the issue. If i installed without a network card would i need to reinstall? can someone please give me the commands for installing a .deb

No that is ridiculous nor would it fix anything. Just fix your wifi. Unload the ideapad_laptop module and restart the networking service.

to install a .deb (you better make sure it is from a trust worthy source)

Code:

dpkg -i foo.deb
