hey,
so i have been trying to connect to the net on bt5r3 and havong problems.. i read that it can help if i install wicd manger 1.6.2 but im a mewb and dont no how can someone please help?
before you spend time trying to manually install and use this specific version of wicd, you might be better served by requesting help for the underlying problem you are having. Getting the virtual network device to work on a guest machine in virtual box should be trivial (ie changing the version of wicd is unlikely to help). Problems related to how the networking is configured within virtualbox and the host machine are more common.

You would probably be best served using a current version, which is now Kali Linux.
i have had alot of problems just trying to start kali in VB on a mac i just crazy how many issuses there are but im just looking to play around with BT5 and other linux distros but when i find a tut on how to set up kali i will give it a go... i read that the only way for it to work on a mac is to get the torrent download so will give it ago...THANKS EVERY!
