i am totally new to linux.
i downloaded and installed backtrack4 r2 on my laptop.
i have dlink dwa 130. i was planning to use usb adapter instead of broadcom internal wifi adapter.
when i put the command "airmon-ng" it doesnt show any adapter.
i downloaded the drivers for linux from dlink website. but i am not sure if the driver is problem.
please help step by step, as i am completely new to linux.
This is why we tell people to start with an easier distro like Ubuntu. We also tell people to search before posting for a reason.
First find out if your wireless interface is compatible with monitor mode and injection, then learn how to bring your interface up. All available in a google page near you. Searching the forums will also help, obviously.
I suggest you read the Wiki and compatibility_drivers [Aircrack-ng]
Also try reading: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forum...ad-thread.html
And as @Snayler suggested, if you are new to Linux you should probably start with a more friendly distribution.
