backTrack3 and 2
 

Hi.. Everyone I'm new in the theme of Backtrack.. I have Backtrack 3 install in my laptop.. Yesturday I bought a NetGear (PCMCIA) wireless card model(WN511T) and my question is.. How can I get the driver to run it in Backtrack 3 or 2 .. I was looking for it like 2 days and I didn't find anything about it.. I need some help? Thanks to read this topic... Any help that u can give me would be really nice...:)

I have a similar card WPN511, which automatically gets detected with backtrack3. Which chipset does your card have?
Can you show us the output of iwconfig?

* Chipset: Marvell Pre-N
* pciid: 11ab:2a02
* Driver: Driver for Netgear WN511T


this is the information of the wireless card..

I tried with Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Backtrack.. and they didn't detect it.. can you help me with it.. pliss...

Although I havent dealt with the Marvel chipset, but I believe you would need to install ndiswrapper first.
Do
then a
Then get your Netgear CD and find the .inf (driver) file, use it.
Hope this helps.

I found it, but it says .sys / and where I put it..

there should be sys and a inf file. Just put the cd in the cdrom and do something like this.

hi.. I install them, but when I put ndiswrapper -l it says that
Invalid Driver!

what I do now..

or can you tell me any good Wireless card that can be detected by Backtrack or Ubuntu.. I'm tired to try////

Cards for backtrack & Ubuntu
 

I have 5 Panasonic laptops 4 cf-48's and 1 cf-50..Right now I am running backtrack3 live CD on the CF-50 as I type this.. None of the 2wire cards lit up (hermes I-chipset) ,the bufflo card (Marvel chipset) a no go ,the lucenet Orinoco Silver card didn't light up either..BUT!!!! The D-link G650 AirPlus (Atheros chipset)did light up..But wouldn't connect. I googled (backtrack3 cards)and looked around and found instructions to get it connected.. #1
bring up the shell (command line)
bt ~# ifconfig ath0 ifup (enter)
bt ~# dhcpcd ath0 (enter) and bang!! I got the net.. I am new to back track and just teaching myself..But that is what I read to do and it worked.. As far as Ubuntu all the cards mentioned above fire right up in all versions of Ubuntu so far..Linux is the Bomb!!!!!
