I thought I had an icon on the bottom bar that showed all of the available resolutions but somehow it is now gone.

I want to change the resolution. I see nothing in the various K menu options....

Is your stated bt4-final size correct? I just downloaded it and I get a file size of 1,533,024 in Win Explorer?

Thanks,

I found two vendors for the ALFA AWUS050NH at $49.99 and $42.20...

Are these decent prices?

Ray

I will probably go with a newer model of ALFA networks. One that supports
802.11n.

Well when I read the statement: Virtual machines such as vmware, virtual box and other software like it CAN ONLY USE usb wifi cards.

I don't have a USB Wifi card, so how am I writing this with...

Not entirely true.

Wireless through a VMware guest does work. I'm answering this using FireFox
from BT 4 installed as a guest VM. It is using my host wireless NIC. There is no ethernet...

is Netstmbler 0.4.0 a useful tool? I see it hasn't been updated since 2004!
I downloaded it only to see that it does not recognize my Realtek RTL 8191SE PCI-E NIC.

Thanks,

Ray

So, would you recommend that whatever I get, it supports 802.11n?
I doubt my Qwest DSL Actiontec Wireless Gateway supports it. It's about
3 years old. Maybe I'll do a little research to see if...

There are 3 Alfa's on the list?

I'm sure there is nothing wrong with the chip set in my laptop (Realtek RTL8191SE), but I'm running BT4 from a VM so I need the USB dongle.

Thanks,

Understood. I guess I was looking for one of them to say "THIS IS THE ONE THAT DOES IT ALL"!!! Maybe it doesn't exist?

And yes, I am considering taking that course.

I looked through the compatibility list here. To much information!!! :)

So, let me ask this: I'd like to see every packet that is generated during a wireless operation, from initiation to...

Yea, I'm considering a USB wireless dongle....

Ah.....dang...been away from Wireshark for over a year. Forgot that little sudo trick! I was brining it up through K menu. Thanks, that took care of that problem.

And yea, I would hope I could at...

iwconfig says:

I can browse the internet wireless from the host as well...

Actually no. Have been using VMware for about 3 years now. VMware 6 was much easier and intuitive. It was a lot different than v7....

I do have a working config now (ie. a BT4 guest VM).

I have installed BT4 as a VMware guest VM. Seems to working fine with a slight exception. When I fire up Wireshark, there are no Capture Interfaces listed? They should come up automatically inside...

in the tmp directory of the mounted CD. There is no tmp directory!

So, when I click the VM->Install VMware Tools, the only thing that
happens is at the bottom of the VMware window. It says to...

Well, after following the help guide, I cannot find the VMwareTools .tar.gz file.

How do I install VMware tools? I cannot find the file!!

I am running VMware WS7 RC on a Win 7 64 bit box with a single VM of BT4.

Thanks.

I'm running bt4-pre-final as a VM using VMware WS 7 RC. My host is Windows 7 64 bit.

Installing BT as a VM went ok as long as I had a good copy of the iso.

What I did was:
sudo apt-get update...

Yea, thanks. I was doing "su" rather than sudo....

Works now.

I should add that I'm running VMware with BT4-pre-final as a VM...

I am feeling mighty dumb right now.

When I try: ifconfig eth0 up
I am getting permission denied.

I tried the password I assigned to me as user as well as toor with no luck!

Help!!!
