Read the subject to see what I have.
I got BackTrack which was created for wireless purposes and I have no internet which ruins it. Help please!

After many hours of swearing at the network manager, I decided to go browsing through the web, and I eventually found this post. I'm now happy to announce that I'm posting this from my laptop, which is connected wirelessly! Thanks.

My solution:

Toshiba Satellite A-105
Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
Ubuntu Edgy 6.10

load module:
#modprobe ipw3954
by default in the install cd

default install don't have the ipw3945d (daemon)
the daemon startup the interface
install it from:

http://bughost.org/ipw3945/daemon/ipw3945d-1.7.22.tgz

start it:
#ipw3945d

test:
#iwconfig
