Today I installed kali linux on a usb (with persistence) , everything went smoothly, but the only problem is that kali doesn't recognize my usb wifi adapter. The weird thing is that I have a kali dual boot in the same computer that recognizes my wi-fi card just fine! Any ideas what the problem is? iwconfig prints:

eth0      no wireless extensions.
lo        no wireless extensions.

In both installations I used the same isoISO. In both of them I run apt-get update/upgrade. Any help is appreciated but take into consideration that Im really new to kali and linux in general.

Edit : ImEdit: I'm adding a part of the dmesg log in case it helps  :
