Madwifi installation fail ( Backtrack 5 )

asustryme · 11-06-2013, 06:02 AM

Hi guys, I'm totally new in linux world, so sorry if i have some stupid sentence/question here, and also sorry for my bad english.

I made a clean installation of the backtrack 5 r3 in my VMware workstation. The main problem is that, I have ath9k driver for my atheros device ( TP-Link TL-WN422G ), and I want to install madwifi driver but I can't because i get some error. I tried a lot of ways, readed a lot, but I can't solve this alone, so I would really appreciate that somebody helps me.

I downloaded the latest drivers from the madwifi-ng site, and when I trying to install them ( make && make install ) its says that:

"Sybol version dump /usr/src/linux-source-3.2.6/Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no depencies and modversions."

I think, this is the first step what I should solve. What should I do?

Backtrack 5 is end of life. Use Kali linux.

As the distribution developers, one would likely expect us to recommend that everyone use Kali Linux. The fact of the matter is however, that Kali is a Linux distribution specifically geared towards professional penetration testing and security auditing and as such, it is NOT a recommended distribution for those unfamiliar with Linux.

Learn to walk before you try to run.

You're right, but firstly I need some motivation, because its zero yet. I'm trying it about 2 weeks, and nothing. I just want to install it, thats all, after that I will learn more
