No drivers for my network card in Backtrack3 :( how to get'em

nicksonrulez · 11-29-2009, 02:39 PM

Did some research and found that backtrack 3 had realtek network drivers by default and when i m logged into XP and if i goto device manager ... in network adapter i see following:

"Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI0E Ethernet Controller
Ralink 802.11n Wireless LAN Card"

so whats the best way to get the drivers

....its 6 hours and m still looking around.

You can try using your XP driver with ndiswrapper.

This might be useful.

I have the same network adapter on my Debian computer at home, i know that Backtrack 4 is based on Debian, Is Backtrack 3 based on Debian also?
If so ill post here the way i installed the Ralink driver (it was a bit tricky).
