Wireless not working
So I just installed backtrack and got the ethernet working, now I'm trying to get the wifi working. I have an Atheros AR928x. Anyone have any ideas on how to get it working? I have BackTrack 4 with no updates or anything. Any help will be appreciated.

Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".

Re: Wireless not working
Since I just spent ages last night working this out for wep, this is what I did.
Try following the 'start networking' tut in the 'how to section'.
Check
/etc/network/interfaces file is correct then
root@bt: update-rc.d networking defaults
root@bt: sshd-generate
root@bt: update-rc.d ssh defaults
restart
Fill in static IP details in wicd -->advanced section --> select WEP shared/restricted (insert wep ..if wep key)
Well, I've tried installing some MadWifi drivers, but that was no good, I was gonna try using NDISWrapper, but I haven't had a chane to yet and I'm about to go to work. Do you have any suggestions that might help me?
I'm not completely sure what I did, but my wireless is working now. Problem right now is that I can't use WPA any ideas on how to get that working?
