Hello everyone.
Thank you for reading my problem.
I recently installed Kali Linux 1.6. However, it doesn't detect Wi-Fi networks, and the button to enable Wi-Fi mode doesn't work. The network icon shows: wireless network disabled by a hardware switch. I have tried some tips but no results have followed.
Please, anyone who has a solution or an idea, share it.
Thank you in advance...

Sorry for the up, but I've noticed that the users of this site are quite reserved when it comes to Kali, maybe it's a class disdain, I don't know, since Kali is just a Debian installed with security testing and penetration system tools that are available on all distros, the only real difference is that you have a dragon as your wallpaper ;) perhaps the users of "how it works" are the distant descendants of medieval knights who don’t really like dragons, so be it ;)
You have probably resolved your issue by now, but I'm posting a response here for all the lost souls who might be wondering the same thing as you.
I assume you tried testing on a WiFi access point, maybe yours, to see how it works; I’m not judging you, on the contrary, curiosity is an important asset in learning, but now you find yourself without WiFi.
Basically, your network card disabled your wlan0 because it has gone into monitor mode; essentially it’s sniffing the network and it can't do two things at once, poor thing ;)
But fortunately, a simple little command can restore that:
And it's fixed!
I believe that most WiFi issues under Kali stem from a poor understanding of the tools, their functioning, and the system itself... but everyone can learn, the documentation is there for that, and it needs to be read if there are points that escape us.
The metaphors I’ve seen in the style of "You don’t learn to drive in a racing car" always make me laugh because the car you learn to drive on doesn’t really matter; you can perfectly drive a racing car and respect speed limits. What you need to realize is that you don’t learn to drive without having passed your driving test, and the test is all the tutorials you can find on how your distro and the tools you want to use work.
Ciao!

If the response is hardblocked yes in the BIOS, we reactivate the card with enabled.
