Replacing Drivers for a Wireless card Realtek RTL8180 on Backtrack5
 
Hello im trying to replace my drivers for my wireless card on my realtek RTL8180. I have the driver already which i got from http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtl8180-sa2400 and have succuessfully extracted it but cant figure out how to uninstall it and reinstall it if i could get some help with this that would be awesome =D.

Do you realize that is a source file, you have to compile the driver before you install it?

Is there some reason you do not want to use the drivers from buntu?

May I STRONGLY suggest that you move to a distro other than Backtrack. Seriously, Backtrack is meant for a specific purpose, and is not intended as a general purpose distro.

And if your interest is in cracking wireless routers, well, that is about as pointless a security exercise as there is.
