Kali Linux WiFi not working :(

So I installed Kali Linux alongside a Win10 laptop divided partition and while I was installing it, something like "Install network drivers" couldn't be installed so I decided to skip it thinking of fixing that later, but the problem comes here. Only ethernet works and when I open up wifi setting nothing shows up, it says "No WiFi adapter found", it also shows error codes on startup (which I'll attach). I really need to fix this because it's kinda useless when I'm not home or plugged in. If you need any information to help me solve this problem just tell me please. I'm also not very familiar with Linux so I don't really know much about it's commands. 

(Sry for my English btw <3)

The error at startup has nothing to do with Wi-Fi

Kali doesn't see the wifi natively, so you'll have to find the model and then find drivers for kali, and build them into the kernel.

 

Good luck, you're going to need it

Yes, you can get that info from the Windows side.

Don't use Kali is the best solution. 

More properly: Run Kali in a VM, not directly on hardware! It's primarily a set of tools, and not a useful OS!

Could you post the output of "lspci"? Then we can try to find the drivers for your specific network card online :)

 

Edit: If your wireless card is an external USB card, run lsusb instead

Realtek d723 is a problematic one, you'll have trouble with it on any distro. 

You can try adding this driver: https://github.com/smlinux/rtl8723de 

However, I strongly recommend replacing your wifi chip with one from Intel. Hopefully it is socketed and not soldered!

That ACPI error is normal and shouldn't get you unusable wifi.

The realtek wifi driver you need is not included with the current Kali/Debian kernel version, you need to manually update the kernel or backport the drivers by downloading the source code and compiling it by yourself

Check also the Debian repository if they are included
Or try this
