Having trouble with linksys wpc11 ver. 4 under backtrack 2.


Hello,

As the title says, I'm having problems with my wireless nic. I'm not really sure what the problem is, or what info I should provide, so I'll just give you everything I think might help.

I've tried using ndiswrapper with the rtl8180 driver, but it didn't seem to make a difference. dhcpcd wlan0 doesn't seem to do anything except remove wlan0 from the ifconfig output. The backtrack wiki also says this:

Chipset: rtl8180
Notes: Requires terminal input of iwconfig and dhcpcd wlan0
Notes: Full capability including injection

Wireless assistant starts with the error:

Wireless assistant will now quit.
