You're right guys. I'm using native driver. Very sorry for misinformation.

This is the result


bt ~ # lsmod | grep bcm43xx
bcm43xx 123948 0

Very strange. I can turn my card into monitor mode with no problems.
I usually do that the following methods


bt ~ # iwconfig eth1 mode Monitor

or


bt ~ # airmon-ng start eth1

No need to say 'thank you'. I haven't helped you yet.


I'm not sure but I guess I got windows driver from that link. Now as you can see that link says 'No such file or directory'. I suggest...

Ok. So here are the steps to get broadcom card working. Remember that I'm new in Linux so it may not work for you.

What we got:

Yes, I'm using ndiswrapper with my Broadcom 4318 on Acer laptop. Unfortunately I have to go now, so no time to type steps at the moment. But I promise I'll do this tomorrow. See you soon.

Alternatively you can install acer_acpi instead of acerhk to turn on your wireless card. Then just ndiswrapper or bcm43xx-cutter should be enough to get it worked , I mean to connect to AP. By the...

Thank you very much. I've been struggling with that for few weeks. And it was so simple to solve. Because I've got ndiswrapper, I thought I had to use it instead of wext.

Thanks again for that...

Since I've installed BackTrack, I can't get my WiFi working. Chipset of my network card is:

Thanks guys for quick reply.

At that moment I'm in the middle of checking all plugins and themes. I'll let you know if I find something interesting.

Edit:
I guess I solved my problem. The...

Since I've installed BackTrack, I've got big problem with firefox. The problem is the browser hangs when I try to type URL in address bar. I start typing first letters (it shows previously visited...

Today I've installed ati drivers so now I can use 1280x800 resolution (previously I was using 1024x768 with vesa driver I guess). Everything is fine besides one detail. When I end current session (K...

Don't worry. I want to use it only for education. I'm not going to sniff anybody. Thanks again.

Thanks Duritoxn for your reply.

I tried to sniff with ARP poisoning but I think it's unnecessary in my case because I want to check if it works on my local laptop, not remote computers in my LAN....

I've got the following problems with ettercap:

1. When I open ettercap in GUI (non-root account), I can't select any network interface because the combo box is empty. How can I change it? I can...

I'm beginner in Linux but I'd like to test your application. I've got ndiswrapper.

Thanks for reply.
Previously I was using Fedora and when I booted it, I always got the same numbers for each interface. So I suppose there must be a reason why it happens on BackTrack.

Edit:...

Thanks Funnyman.
I'll try to find it. Moreover maybe it's not the most important thing but it starts to make me nervous.

Thanks for reply.

Hi all.
I've got very strange problem with my 2 network interfaces (one for wired, one for wireless). When I boot BackTrack, my network cards receive different number of eth. For example, one time I...
