Alfa AWUS036H does not work at all on BT5 Rs2

Hello Pros...
I'm absolutely new to linux and BT and tried everything and even read forum's four over 4 weeks now, but can't find the answer to my problem.

I got windows 7 and run BT5 RS2 on a usb stick. it starts fine and bt is workinf so far. i got a alfa AWUS036H networkcard. when i turn my internal wireless card off, i can not see any network and my alfa does not start. i tried different commands like posted here and even i can not find under the bt5 the service where i can start the wireless card. for the rest like penetration, i got a perfect instuction here in the forum and think i will get that.
i know you guys will maybe lough now, but i would need a step by step instruction, to finally get this usb wireless card going. i also know, the problem is sitting right in front of my computer, but everybody was a starter and then get's a pro....

i run bt5 rs2 on a usb stick with kde 32, my system is windows 7 with 64b. when i tried to run off of a usb 64 version, it did not start, but the 32 in gnome and kde does.
so i'm using that.
many thanks in advance. please write me instructions step by step, that make things way easier for me.

If you are going to use BT5, please, forget about windows. You need to read a little bit about linux...Here nothing is automatic. Nothig is taken for granted (drivers installed, network services started, etc).

First you need to know if the system is seeing the wifi cards...If not, you need to start the network services....

Open up a terminal, type: ifconfig
See if any device is available (eth0, eth1, wlan0, wlan1, etc..).
If no device, except "lo" (local) is available, type : /etc/init.d/wicd start (the interfaces are brought up, start discovering dhcp server, etc)..

Then check again if interfaces are available: ifconfig

Try this first....

And please, this is not windows, this is linux, and you need the terminal (it's your spoon, fork and knife when eating). Sorry, no drag&drop, no automatic stuff, no installation wizards...need the terminal and commands.

Hope my comments do not bother you, but need to read about linux if you are trying to get into this..

good luck...

I would add to maverik35's reply that if you are absolutely new to linux, then BackTrack may not be the best place to start. I suggest getting familiar with linux by using Ubuntu Linux first.
