Re: Why i can't use brigde mode?
Bridged over wireless don't always play nice. Bridged networking is outside the WLAN specification. Bridging to wireless is not really bridging. The guest shares the MAC of the host and the host does a sort of MAC-NAT translation based on IP addresses. Promiscuous mode doesn't exist in the official WLAN specifications. It may or may not work. Some combinations of Routers/Access Points, WLAN cards and drivers work, some don't. See: Bridging & Wifi - Supported hardware and add your experience.veny wrote:i am using wifi connection.
There is a chance that it might work if you assign a static IP in your guest.
BTW, you do realize that you won't be having a wireless adapter in your Kali network, right? The only adapter that Kali will see is a wired one, even if you're bridging over wireless...
