Please log in for more thread options Hey everyone... I'm NOT a Linux-freek, but I've just found BackTracker2, and I'm very interested in trying it. But when I start BackTracker2 up on CD, I don't seem to have any WLAN-adapters... iwconfig says: "eth0: no wireless extensions" I would think, that somewhere in iwconfig, it should say somthing about wlan0 or ath0 instead??? The WiFi-control-light (just below the screen on the laptop) isn't on either! I've checked the BIOS, and all network adaptors is enabled at startup. Can anyone tell me, what to do????????????? PS: BackTracker2 does support the IBM T60... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View this thread: http://www.wirelessforums.org/showthread.php?t=23155 http://www.wirelessforums.org | ||||||||||||||||

Or is this a "liveCD" bootable run environment? Maybe there are specific command line switches that you need. > >I would think, that somewhere in iwconfig, it should say somthing about

Another laptop with an ar5-something DLink card identified ath0, but that was from an add-on driver, not a set from the RHEL install. > >PS: BackTracker2 does support the IBM T60...
My T60 has an AR-5211. You might wander over to MadWifi.org to look for support. -- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley Lake, CA, USA GPS: 38.8,-122.5 | ||||||||||||||||
