as from the title i have bt5's oldest release available and a netgear n150 usb adapter (wna1100). my problem is that i cant even get bt to allow me to use it to surf the web, tho it does list the device with lsusb. ifconfig and ifconfig -a do not make note of my usb or wlan0, if i try to turn said device on with the ifwlan0up (or similar command) i get the error message that the device does not exist. i have made changes to the /etc/modules file under wlan0 to include the ath9l_htc driver.
The first suggestion that comes to mind is to update to the latest version of Backtrack. Other than that we need more information to be able to help you.
I've never heard of ifwlan0up or similar command..??????????
I've certainly do heard of "ifup" or "ifconfig wlan0 up"..But definitly not even close to what you wrote..
Do you get authenticated into router?..WEP or WPA-WPA2 authentication?...did you install (copy) the firmware for your chipset 9271 (http://wireless.kernel.org/download/htc_fw/1.3/).
Please post what you've done, be more specific.
