Stock Drivers
so after running ifconfig:
lo no wireless extentions
eth0 no wireless extentions
running airmon-ng
returns the headings only, no adapters are show (I am typing this from memory, I am dual booting and I have no internet conenctivity bt5, so I am typing this in Windows)
After Compat Drivers installed
I downloaded version 3.6 of compat drivers, but no luck
Wicd - gives error ("could not connect to d-bus", which seems like it is normal) but it does not show any networks, before and after
root@bt:~# lspci -vnn | grep -i net
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:0887] (rev c4) 03:00.2 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller [10ec:8168] (rev 0a)
by the way, I have Intel Centrino N-2230 wireless adapter
anyone have any suggestions
UPDATE
root@bt:~# modinfo | grep iwlwifi
Usage: modinfo [-0][-F field][-k kernelversion][-b basedir] module...
Prints out the information about one or more module(s).
If a fieldname is given, just print out that field (or nothing if not found).
Otherwise, print all information out in a readable form
If -0 is given, separate with nul, not newline.
If -b is given, use an image of the module tree.

1Are you running this inside a VM? If not, can you post the output of lspci -vnn | grep -i net – MariusMatutiae – 2013-12-17T11:50:30.167

Are you running Kali inside a VM? – MariusMatutiae – 2013-12-18T16:07:27.390
@MariusMatutiae No, I am dual booting W7 (64) & BT5 (64 Gnome) – user2699451 – 2013-12-18T23:47:51.733
your driver is iwlwifi. Fisrt check whether it is loaded, modinfo | grep iwlwifi. If it is loaded, we should see the version: modinfo iwlwifi | grep version. Lastly, ceck that you have the firmware, modinfo iwlwifi | grep firmware. Pls post this output here. – MariusMatutiae – 2013-12-19T05:01:38.697
