Im getting error when patching! Am I using the correct patchs? Need I other patchs?

With Best Regards,

The card should work without any changed in the latest version of Backtrack.

Hello sickness, thanks for you fast answering!

I have updates the bt 5 r3, apt-get update and dist-upgrade, so its completly updated. Regarding your answer, i really don't need to aplly any patch to the card driver? channel negative one, wl_frag+ack_v3 or injection speed?

Don't now if its importante or not, but im usint BT5 R3 x64 Gnome, on Vmware.

Good evening !
I have a problem too with BT5 R3 and the alfa awus036h usb card. I use VMWare too (VM workstation 9).
When i select my wifi card in the VMWare menu to disable it on windows and enable it on BT, it says that my card was unsuccessfully installed (driver issue).

I think we have the same problem here.
Did you find a way to solve this problem ?

Thank you so much in advance.

Ok I just solved my issue.
VMWare doesn't seem to be compatible with USB 3.0.

So if you have the same problem, just connect your alfa usb card to a USB 2.0 port (you should find at least one on your PC).

Greeting from France and happy new year even if it's late !
Bonne nuit !

As sickness said, it should work right out of the box..Some where in the forum, someone posted issues with USB 3.0, I just can't place the post, but memento just confirmed it.

Thanks memento for your contibution. I learned one more thing today.
