I am using Kali Linux. My NetworkManager is enabled. But randomly my NetworkManager or networking.service goes down. Most of the time it's networking.service and my wifi is gone.
And Then I'm unable to turn on the networking.service
I think if I can configure the /etc/network/interfaces file properly then my issue might be fixed

NetworkManager (NM) and networking.service are two different means of running the network. Use one or the other but not both. NM doesn't use /etc/network/interfaces, but networking does. Why not check out Kali forums?

AIUI, this list advises kali users to read this first:

I couldn't find detailed networking instructions on the kali home site. The debian site has some near generic instructions using different methods here, https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse.
