Hello, I am totally new to linux, but pretty computer literate, so if someone could help me out I would appreciate it, thanks.

I have installed backtrack 3 on vmware workstation. I would like to install a TP-link TL-WN650G wireless card(atheros based - AR5005GS) onBacktrack because that it supports packet injection. Backtrack doesn't automatically recognize the device so I need to install the driver, I have done some research and found I needed to install the driver 'madwifi-old'(ieee80211 version) from here..

However I have no idea how to install them from inside backtrack, so if someone knows please let me know.
tryed 'lsmod |grep ath_pci', 'modprobe ath_pci' but nothing happened and didn't work.
thanks

first you gotta download and compile the madwifi driver, then you can modprobe. before you do though, man, make sure there's no wireless modules already running - sometimes there are and you gotta blacklist them.

there's a HOWTO for that here:
