Linux Driver For Samsung 960 Evo Ssd

I have a dual boot Mac with OSX and Kali Linux(1.0.7). Today I tried to get the Wifi working according to this guide: http://samiux.blogspot.de/2014/02/howto-kali-linux-106-on-macbook-air-mid.htmlbut it failed. Furthermore the b43 driver by Linux wireless does not seem to support the card(http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43)..Do I have to buy an usb wifi device or is there some other possibility to get the wifi card working?

PS: It is NOT the 'device not managed' error. iwconfig shows me no wireless only 'lo'.

Otherwise, installation is standard.

As for the driver you already have, you may check whether it is indeed suitable to your wifi card:
