how to enable or disable wifi on backtrack 5?

Hello,

Depends on your hardware and if you have the drivers for your wireless NIC installed and loaded correctly. Have a look at the BackTrack 5 Wiki for supported hardware out of the box. Check if your NIC is detected.

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi,

Which one are you using? Backtrack 5 as mentioned in your first post or BackTrack 3 which you refer to in your last one? If you're only looking on how to start/stop wireless then browse to the menus, there should be a wicd mentioned in there. If I'm not mistaking that's the default utility in BackTrack to start/stop/configure your wireless. Or you could start/stop in a terminal with

Code:

wicd start
wicd stop

Kind regards,

Eric
