Hello! I'm running BT5 32 bit kde version in vmware. Everything works great like airmon-ng, but wicd just does not want to scan for wireless networks. I tried putting interface down and restarting, but no luck. Any suggestions?
eth0 connects fine btw
i think you can't connect through wirless card for you pc
i think you must use alfa usb
good luck
yes i am using alfa awus036h usb adapter that i connect to BT5 through vmware.
up i have the same issue :(
i have the usb adopter .i got the following error:SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 :(
bt5 gnome32bit
any help plz
I used to get this error on BT4R2 using awus036h.Quote:

I had the same problem in BT4 if you are using RTL8187 the this should fix it up for you.Quote:

1) Open a Konsole then type in iwconfigQuote:

That's what work for me...
I also encountered the same problem (i got the following error:SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132) when using VMware but restart the VMware will solve my problem...Quote:
