first check if the drivers its loaded, run this command as root: lspci |grep Ethernet Click to expand...

Its should says something like this: root@kali:/home/user# lspci |grep Ethernet 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8132 Fast Ethernet (rev c0) Click to expand... If drivers its working most prolly only its unmanaged the wired connection, check the Network Management config file nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf Click to expand... The file probably contains: [ifupdown] managed=false Click to expand... Change false to true and restart Network Management /etc/init.d/network-manager restart
