usb wireless card not detected?
Hey i have backtrack 4 pre-final installed with VMware fusion i have a compatible usb wireless card (Alfa Network awuso36h) and i believe it should work out of the box, as i read it already has the drivers! So this is what i get:
:~# ifconfig
lo Link encap: Local Loopback
inet addr : 127.0.0.1 Mask: 255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU: 16436 Metric: 1
RX packets:0 errors: 0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped: 0 overruns: 0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen :0
RX bytes :0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
:~# ifconfig wlan0 up
wlan0: Error while getting interface flags: No such device
Any advice, where im going wrong? Thankyou.

Ohh im sorry i feel kinda stupid now, can see why you get annoyed. All i had to do was enable the USB through the VMware!
Do i dare to ask? .... Yep !
Funny, i have the same problem, only i use an apple macbook, running BT inside parallels...Originally Posted by Smiler
Guess parallels is the mac version of VMware...
Still,... any advice ?
Ow,... and parallels doesnt provide an option to turn usb on or off....
Well im online, but one more question my network adapter doesnt flash? I know its kinda silly cause its still working but, id like to be able to see it working if u get me? And ive searched that ones definetly not on here!
Im on MacBook too mate, but im using VMware Fusion if u get that i may be able to help ya get online, this lot dont seem to bother cause they prob get it everyday!
Smiler: That's probably something to do with led_cfg. I'd try upgrading the kernel to the latest one that's in the repository and if its still no dice, maybe you need to tinker around if you want flashing led.
