Fix wireless connection and install wlan0 driver on BackTrack and Kali Linux

Posted by Mikayel Aleksanyan at 9:55 PM Labels:

As i promised. In this video tutorial i will show you how to fix wireless card problem. When you type airmon-ng and can't detect any wlan0 interface. In this post you can find solution.
In Virtual Machine computer default wireless card is not working, you need to buy an external wireless card. Look at eBay. 

TP-Link TL-WN723N 

I already bought this one, and really working perfect. You can buy another model, but i recommend this one. Because its working very fast and size is small and comfortable.

I hope that you like this video tutorial and its really helpful for you. Then make sure you share it with your friends. And if you have any question add it in comment box below. And i will try to help you as soon as possible. Stay tuned for more tutorials.

      Root password? you see that in console? then you need to enter your linux op.system password!

    Hi Mikael,

    I have the same TP-LINK model as yours.

    I'm currently updating my Kali OS via Software update and have not yet performed your procedures.

    I assume when everything is done, I may use airmon-ng start wlan0 right to monitor?

    Many thanks

    Hi Mikael,

    I got this error on the "make" or "sudo make" step:

    root@Kali:~/Desktop/rtl8188eu-master# make
    make ARCH=i386 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/3.18.0-kali3-686-pae/build M=/root/Desktop/rtl8188eu-

    master modules
    make: *** /lib/modules/3.18.0-kali3-686-pae/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
    make: *** [modules] Error 2


    Appreciate your inputs.. Thanks

      Hi! It will no long work with kali linux! You can't enable monitor mode because kernel version is updated. For now the best adapter which will work with kali linux without any problems is alfa awus036nha. I have uploaded a video take a look https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOetz47x-04

      Thanks for your reply. What linux OS would it work? BackTrack in VM?

      I just want to put this TP-LINK in action.

      Thanks

      I'm not sure for BackTrack because its out of date! You can use it with Windows!

    Hello,
    I am using Tp Link WN723N wireless adapter. In the begining it wasn't showing it on airmon-ng
    I followed all the steps you should in the video. Than it only shows wireless adapter in airmon-ng when i am connected to a connection. But when i try to follow next steps try to crack the wifi connection it didn't work.
    When i try to put it on monitor mode, it didn't enable it.
    Can i still use TP-link wn723n for cracking on backtrack VM or need to upgrade?
    Thank you

      Hi! The kernel version is updated and wn-723 won't work on monitor mode. I recommend you Alfa AWUS036NHA wifi adapter just take a look at my unboxing video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOetz47x-04

    I am getting an error after the Sudo modprobe 8188eu says module not found. I don't know if this is because I'm using a different wifi adaptor
