So, the image was updated early this year, but the 3B+ came out a bit later. The Kali folks need to update their image to support the Pi 3B+. That shouldn't take them too long.

You will find Kali Support here, the developers should be able to help you get their software up and running:

Hmmm. Well, you did fill your post with unnecessary icons and big text, and you are asking for support on an OS that isn't supported here, so that post is rather accurate, and even gave you the right forum for asking questions.

Although glad you got the response you needed eventually. You need to talk to the Kali developers to update their OS image, the B+ has different Wireless and ethernet chips, so requires more drivers for those, along with support for the B0 SoC. Usually takes about a week once they have the required device, although it is possible to DIY - see the Ubuntu thread on here (another non-supported OS, so that has been a community effort)

Hi

Have to say, this forum is superb for support, honest. I have tried to get support over on the kali forums, with two detailed and troubleshooting type posts, and each time I have received a rather officious warning private message. I really am not impressed with the lack of suppoprt over there, here though, I have to say the support has been superb.

Re your issue; I too have tried to get kali linux running on my 3B+ - but the official kali repo does not yet support this Pi model. However, the good news is that there is a repo called re4son, which I have managed to get up and running on my 3B+, but the bad news is that it does seem to cause errors and glitches. As I said, I have asked twice for help on the official kali forums and each time have been told off as if I were a little child by a very impersonal private message. If you seek help from them, good luck with that :D

Some of the issues I have experienced with the kali install from re4son are;
[*]no sound at all - HDMI or 3.5mm
[*]lack of fixes for ALFA WiFi cards on specific chipsets
[*]errors galore on rebooting (too many to list here)

By all means drop me a reply on here or maybe we can exchange email details to see if we can get it sorted.
