root@kali:~# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
root@kali:~#
And that's literally it. There's no eth0 or en0
I installed Kali Linux to a partition on my MacBook Pro. During the installation process it could not find the Ethernet card so I selected no Ethernet card. Now I'm stuck with nothing other than the loopback and since my laptop has no Ethernet port I can't connect to the Internet in order to download anything. I'm basically stuck with no options. I don't know what to do about this and there isn't a single answer on the Internet to this exact problem. How do I get Kali Linux to recognize the network card?
EDIT:
lspci -knn | grep Net -A2
Outputs:
03:00.0 Network controller : Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Apple Inc. BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [106b:0134]
Kernel modules: bcma
04:00.0 Multimedia controller : Broadcom Corporation 720p FaceTime HD Camera [14e4:1570]
I can use my phone's connection via Bluetooth in order to download anything. But when I type
ifconfig
or iwconfig
I only get one output lo
there's no wlan0
