getting alfa usb wifi to work with BT3 ?

[imported_=Tron=]

connects to internet fine when you do it manually through the terminal, no problems at all. Is there a reason it does not connect through the wireless assistant program ?
Also am I right in thinking that if I want to run spoonwep or aireplay etc, I just need to give the card the monitor command ?

Well thankfully this is the recommended way to connect. The wireless assistant is a rather buggy piece of software with its quirks and issues, if you take a look around the forum you will find that most experienced users tend to avoid using it.

Managed mode is only used to actually connect to a wireless AP, for injection and capturing packets monitor mode is what you want. This includes the aircrack-ng suite and yes the command I provided earlier is what you need to get the card into monitor mode.
