How to install wireless driver on backtrack ?????
Hello, I am totally new to linux, but pretty computer literate, so if someone could help me out I would appreciate it, thanks.
I have installed backtrack 3 on vmware workstation. I would like to install a TP-link TL-WN650G wireless card(atheros based - AR5005GS) onBacktrack because that it supports packet injection. Backtrack doesn't automatically recognize the device so I need to install the driver, I have done some research and found I needed to install the driver 'madwifi-old'(ieee80211 version) from here.. http://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=madwifi http://madwifi-project.org/ However I have no idea how to install them from inside backtrack, so if someone knows please let me know. tryed 'lsmod |grep ath_pci', 'modprobe ath_pci' but nothing happened and didn't work. thanks |
first you gotta download and compile the madwifi driver, then you can modprobe. before you do though, man, make sure there's no wireless modules already running - sometimes there are and you gotta blacklist them.
there's a HOWTO for that here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...hlight=MADWIFI good luck bro. |
