BT5 and wifi cards
« on: April 06, 2012, 07:18:34 am »
I've looked around but can't find a clear answer so I decided to ask here. I have a realtek wifi card and before I start messing around I want to know if it's compatible with Backtrack 5. I have had problems with ubuntu 10.04 on broadcom and when i my own laptop with a different wifi card I thought my problems were solved. They were not. So I'm wondering if Realtek is another one of those cards that have to be difficult and not work with anything

So you're saying you have a realtek? Do you have to get an Alfa card in order for backtrack to work?

i mean no, in my case my wlan card is detected but can`t be used. so i use the "wicd-client" syntax to my terminal to connecting wifi.
