It could be any number of things. My guess is the drivers for your wifi card arent open source, or there is no linux driver. Check to see if you have the non-free repositories enabled.

Taken from: https://www.kali.org/docs/general-use/kali-linux-sources-list-repositories/
On a standard, clean install of Kali Linux, with network access, you should have the following entry present in /etc/apt/sources.list:
Code:
ali@kali:~$ grep -v '#' /etc/apt/sources.list | sort -u deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main non-free contrib kali@kali:~$

f the output doesn’t exactly match up to the above output, you may not be able to install any new additional packages or receive updates. This may happen for any number of reasons, such as: ​ - You did an off-line install (such as missing a network connection during installation). - You have switched your branch. - Using a different (hardcoded) mirror]. ​ You will probably want to read the “switching branches” section to alter this. ​ ​ ​

I've dealt with an issue like that before. It could be two network managers clashing, or one just isn't running. Do you know what manager you have installed? By default you should have NetworkManager.

Okay, try to disable and enable NetworkManager. If you get an error trying to disable it, that may mean NetworkManager was never running in the first place.
