Hi all.
My Broadcom doesn't work with back track, the version doesn't work in backtrack so i'm trying to know which mini usb wifi adapter is the best one for backtrack. People told me to buy an Alfa but the problem is that alfa is very very big. I'm actually trying to find an adapter like this one:

or at least like this one:

I don't want bigger then the 2º one.
Thanks for the help.
The topic of compatible adapters has been covered and there are threads ont he forum that might help you out. Additionally you might look ont he Wiki and see the currently working Wireless cards if they fit your needs.
Also the aircrack-ng site/forum might help.
I already searched but all i find is about Alfa adapter. The others links i have found talked about compatibility but not about backtrack, they talk about Fedora or ubuntu or any other distro. I didn't find anything about backtrack. Just to give you an example, my ethernet card works in Backtrack but it doesn't work in Ubuntu. And in Linux Mint all my hardware works.
that's why i'm a little lost here and i just needed someone to give me a name that i will buy it. :|
I've also found this information in the Backtrack website:

The problem is that he said " THIS LIST NEEDS TO BE UPDATED FOR BT5. "
It's already my 3º netbook that i buy and the wireless card never works with backtrack. I really want to use backtrack but i always get this problem. A hand at this moment would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Sorry, i'm kinda new to Backtrack comunity.
Is there actually any "Mini USB Wireless Adapter" compatible with BackTrack, Aircrack-ng or generally with Injection?
Best regards
