You could try out the command line in order to connect to your wireless lan and see if that is working or if it is resulting in any error message.

How close are you to the AP? Are you able to access the admin page?

Please consult the readme of the LinuxLive USB Creator.

The installation shouldn't be any different from the installation of Ubuntu for instance.

What is written in the terminal?

Do other options work?

Just check out the hardware compatibility list in the wiki for instance and go with that.

There is also a hardware compatibility forum.

Just open a terminal and run run script?

Glad that you are open to suggestions.

I'd suggest you not to start with Backtrack as your first Linux distribution even though it got way more user friendly. But it still requires a certain...

How about checking which IP you received from the DHCP server?

Well the error message tells you what to do in order to change the MAC address.

Check the routing.

You should spin your keyboard 3 times counterclockwise before the startx.

Or give us some more details on the error message.

That is the normal behaviour. Backtrack might not be the right distribution if you are new to Linux.

Just try to move the xorg.conf away and see if you can start it then.

The link isn't working. So which chipset does the card use?
