Wireless Commands not showing results in BT5r3

[JerryLZ]

Hi im trying to use the aircrack package and for example when i use airmon-ng the command itself works but it posts no results. My wireless card is connected to BT and not the host. Here is my basic info and some of the result for the commands when I use them in BT. Im new to Linux but eager to learn.

- Backtrack version GNOME 32bit, running in VMwarePlayer on windows 7 ultimate x64.
-My wireless card - Linksys AE1200 (USB) It is detected by BT im not sure if that matters.

iwconfig -

eth1 no wireless extensions.



airmon-ng start wlan0 -

Found 1 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!

PID Name
1144 dhclient3

Interface Chipset Driver

airodump-ng mon0
Interface mon0:
ioctl(SIOCGIFINDEX) failed: No such device





So far i've tried reinstalling the package and that did nothing.

Tried this fix -
cd /pentest/wireless/aircrack-ng
svn up
make
make install
airodump-ng-oui-update

same problem here.
but in live usb everything is working perfect only in virtual oracle machine it's this error.
what i have read is that virtual box still not support wireless internal adapter, only usb wireless adapter and that's why we have this problems.
anyway i was thinking to install the internal wireless adapter in backtrack normal with driver for.

He (JerryLZ) does mention he's using a USB Adapter.

-My wireless card - Linksys AE1200 (USB) It is detected by BT im not sure if that matters.

What makes you think that BT is detecting your wireless card, the output from airmon shows no interface/chipset or driver and iwconfig posts no wireless extensions.

Do you know what chipset your wireless card has and what driver you are supposed to be using, or if it's even supported?

Use the virtual machine and do not install the BT5, instead, run the ISO as live from VM..It should work.....Try it...
