- What does lspci say? is the device detected?
- Have you tried manually modprobing ipw3945/iwl3945 and the results?
- Have you checked dmesg?
- If those did not work have you tried booting without enabling acpi?

Because I am using VMWare to install the BackTrack. Will this has impact on detecting my wireless card?
Any virtualization software will not be able to see hardware wifi cards unless they are usb.Originally Posted by charlescywong
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

I have just tried to use my wireless USB Adaptor with BT3. However it still cannot detect my wireless USB Adaptor. Is it because of the adaptor is not support or I need to install some driver (i.e. ipw3945 etc.)??
However I can use this adaptor to browse website using the Firefox within the BT3. I am using VMWare to install BT3...>.<
Are you telling vmware to allow BT3 to use the adapter under the usb preferences?

I haven't change any setting of the VMWare. So I think it is the default setting... Where can I set this?
I am going to buy a wireless USB adaptor for my BT3 using VMWare. I found the following model should work well with BT3 and kismet...
ALFA Networks AWUS036S
AVM Fritz! Wlan USB V1.1
Edimax EW-7318USG
Netopia ter/gusb-e
OvisLink Evo-w54usb
Are they all work well or any other suggestions??
