installing rt73 on backtrack 4! this is driving me mad

[Barry]

The link worked for me and many other members. Are you sure you really have a rt73?

The v3 model uses the rt2x00 drivers.

it does'nt work for me either.. im using backtrack4.. cant get it to inject got a rt73 dlink dwa-110.. neither can i get the 4965 to work either.. at the dkms module step.. it tells me that it cant build.. it's not in the dkms tree.. i installed dkms from softpedia.. 2.0 i guess. and when i try to instal a deb file of the drivers with injection.. it says problem with dkms.. it's not installable.. and thats coz im missing the linux-headers i guess.. from console i run aptitude update aptitude safe-upgrade aptitude install linux-headers (doesnt install anything ) then aptitude install dkms doesnt just gives an option at the end about manual or something..

As Barry said, there are 2 version. The v1 uses rt73 and v3 uses RT2587.

Try searching a little bit more here at the forum. There are some informations about v3.

v1 is working out of the box. I own one.
