Kali Linux Internet Connection not working - A819 - Aug 30, 2017

So I just got Kali Linux (EDIT: On a bootable USB), but I after hours of googling for an answer I cannot find one. So first I did iwconfig but it just said something like 'lo - no connections' (or something to that effect).

I then googled for an answer but all that came up was typing lspci. So I did that and it returned with this in Kali:

Code 
00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series SoC Transaction Register (rev 0f)

02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display (rev 0f)

14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx, Celeron N2000 Series USB xHCI (rev 0f)

1a.0 Encryption controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Trusted Execution Engine (rev 0f)

1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Power Control Unit (rev 0f)

I'm not really sure what to do with this?
If someone can tell me what to do here I would really really be grateful! Thanks 🤮

This has always been a pain in the ass. I got around this issue by just making a bootable usb

Yeah, the strange thing is it is a bootable usb. I probably should've mention that in the original post

WAIT I just had an idea. If I use an ethernet cable I should be able to download the drivers/kernels/whatever software I need to connect wireless. Problem is:
A. My computer doesn't have ethernet ports (So I'll need an ethernet-to-USB adaptor thing)
B. I don't have an ethernet cable to begin with.
Although it looks like I can buy both of those on amazon for only £10 collectively. 🙂

Also when I do lspci -knn it returns with:

try with

Code 
lspci | grep -i wireless

if you have a wifi card. if not, go with

Code 
lspci | grep Ether

I fixed my wifi on Kali Linux by going to Youtube and searching "Kali Linux Wifi not working". Also later i found that I could just, hit...... Fn+F2 (Windows OS)
