hello, i have been trying to work this out for about 2 weeks now,, i have read nearly every post. I have tryed downloading all these new things to try make it work. alot ofpost were telling me to get madwifi but that doesnt work with Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g. So if some-one would liek to help me, that would be nice!!

thanks

I have the same exact card

We will need to know the problem first, before we can start fixing it

What Linux distribution are you using?

What is wrong with it? Elaborate on this as much as possible.

That will give us a good start.

i am using backtrack 4, i can use the internet, the only thing that i wont that isnt working is when i type airmon-ng under interface, chipset and driver there isnt anthing!

Don't use airmon-ng. that never works for me.
Instead, do it "The Linux Way"

1. Disconnect from your netwoek using whatever GUI you use.
2. Type "ifconfig wlan0 down"
3. Type "iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
4. Type "ifconfig wlan0 up"

You are now in monitor mode. happy hacking!

i hav tryed that,, but everytime i write these line it comes up with

root@bt:~# ifconfig wlan0 down
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
root@bt:~# iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device.
root@bt:~# ifconfig wlan0 up
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
root@bt:~#

Hmmm....
Type in "lspci" and post the output here.
Type in "ifconfig -a" and post the output here. (Block out your IP address)

is that right?

Funny question. But when you posted that, were you using your Ethernet or Wireless?

i am using wireless, i use a laptop

Well, the device with the most activity is eth0. So do the above commands with that
If that is your Ethernet, try eth1.

i have tryed but i dont think i am putting in the right commands, can u please tell me wat to put in?

VMware + BT4 does not support Atheros cards.

Try BT4 as a Linux Live DVD/USB or install it to your hard drive. It should work. If it doesn't, BT4 has a how-to to get it working:

You can also try VirtualBox, which is much better than VMware, although the Live CD DVD/USB or install to HDD is recommended first.

ok i am using viraulbox with BT4, can u tell me how to get my driver working thanks

thanks

That's IF it will work....

Post the output of "lspci" again.

for some reason i cant copy and paste and can u explain how
