Setting up wireless cards

When you purchase a Wi-Fi adapter for your Raspberry Pi, you want to make sure it not only works with the Raspberry Pi, but also works with Kali Linux. Luckily, almost every Wi-Fi adapter we used works with both the Raspberry Pi and Kali Linux. In this book, we are using the CanaKit Wi-Fi dongle, as shown in the following image:

CanaKit makes an extremely popular Raspberry Pi kit that ships with this version of the Wi-Fi adapter. You can also purchase an adapter separately. If you need to purchase a separate card, make sure it is one that works with Debian Linux.
