backtrack 5 is dead and unsupported and VERY VERY OLD
it will not detect new hardware
do not use the NOT supported BT5 !!!
if you MUST use a PROFESSIONAL security perpetration testing operating system
install Kali 1.0.5
but it is for SECURITY PROFESSIONALS
designed BY SECURITY PROFESSIONALS
for use BY SECURITY PROFESSIONALS in penetration testing
see the common part
SECURITY PROFESSIONALS
years of linux and network knowledge are REQUIRED
years in the field or a masters degree and really needed
and PLEASE heed the warnings that the developers posted !!!

Quote:
As the distribution developers, one would likely expect us to recommend that everyone use Kali Linux. The fact of the matter is however, that Kali is a Linux distribution specifically geared towards professional penetration testing and security auditing and as such, it is NOT a recommended distribution for those unfamiliar with Linux.
In addition, misuse of security tools within your network, particularly without permission, may cause irreparable damage and result in significant consequences.
If you are looking for a Linux distribution to learn the basics of Linux and need a good starting point, Kali Linux is not the ideal distribution for you. You may want to begin with Ubuntu or Debian instead.
