How to enable WiFi on Dell Latitude E6330 running kali Linux? [closed]

Solution 1:

There are specific drivers for each wireless card. According to Dell's specs, the E6330 might have an Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6205, Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 3 , Intel® Centrino® Ultimate-N 6300, Dell Wireless™ 1504 (802.11g/n 1x1), or Dell Wireless 1540 (802.11n 2x2).

  • Check your PC for the WiFi device installed.
  • Look online for a Linux driver for that card.
  • If no driver is available for Kali Linux, or it's too difficult to install, get a Linux-compatible WiFi USB dongle for ~US$10, such as this TP-Link device or this by EDUP (N.B. I've not tried either on Kali Linux).

BTW, Kali is one of the more difficult distros to configure. You might consider another, such as Ubuntu, which is usually quite easy to install.
