Hi !
After I booted into BackTrack 4 ,I tried to connect to network with no luck . I am using Zydas 1211 adapter . I 've been googling for some info,the only command I know is tar zxvf ZD1211LnxDrv_2_16_0_0.tar .What other commands I should use to get this adapter going,so I can connect to the internet ? Any help would be appreciated ! Thanks Alot !

Most distributions now have the Zydas module already included, I believe it was after the change to the 2.6.x kernels, but I don't know for sure.

Code:

lsmod

Run this command to see if it shows that the zd1211rw module is loaded. If it is loaded then you may need to get the zydas firmware. Check the BackTrack repositories and see if it is there.

backtrack 4 has zd1211rw support, I've used my adaptor with it successfully to crack the WEP encryption on a network I set up. If you use

Code:

iwconfig

does it show up?
