Setting up WiFi on fresh Kali Linux 2021.1 disables wireless card and prevents WiFi from scanning

[claytonsulby]

Installing kalipi-config by following the directions, I used the networking options to list my home network. I connected via the terminal GUI and now on boot no networks are listed and the connection I put in isn't connected either. I have also tried wait for connection on boot, but it doesn't connect and still boots.

I am using Raspberry Pi 4B, Kali Linux 2021.1 for Pi4.

I've tried:

source

wpa_passphase “wifiname” “wifipassword” > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

in /etc/network/interfaces put:
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp

the trick is the last line, it MUST be the last one.

stop network manager
service network-manager stop
disable so that it doesn’t start at boot
systemctl disable network-manager

it might be important to start/restart the networking service
service networking start (or restart)

reboot and it should work it might also be useful to enable networking with
systemctl enable networking
