Let me guess: It's a wifi card, and it can't be found.

It will not work. KALI SUPPLIES NO FIRMWARE! D

It's best to treat Kali as a tool, not a distribution. Use your wired Nic. And if you want linux, install a distribution, not Kali.

Did you read the Kali sticky-posts in the forums, or their own website??

Kali is for advanced Linux users, and even then for pentesting/security testing; not to be used as a daily use system.

wifi may require non-free firmware. Try Slackware

Kali doesn't supply wifi firmware at all.
