Howto check installed driver version (rt73) in Backtrack 3 (final)

[@ll@rdo]

Hello,

With help of this forum I've managed to get Backtrack 3 (final) installed in VMware-workstation(6.5.1 b.126130). Getting VMware-tools installed was a bit harder (problems with kernel etc..) but after reading numerous threads on this forum I got it to work! Then I had to install the driver for the WUSB54GC wifi-dongle. I followed the next steps:

bt ~ # cd rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.1/Module
bt Module # make
bt Module # make install
bt Module # cd
bt ~ # modprobe rt73

It seems to be working , but I've read that the WUSB54GC works "out of the box" with Backtrack, how can I see/check what driver (version) is used (is there a command to show installed drivers)?

Thanks for reading!

One thread per topic is enough. Re-read the rules you agreed to, and to see why your posts do not instantly show up.

...is there a command to show installed drivers...

@ll@rdo,
Welcome to the forums.

You can try this:

airdriver-ng loaded
modinfo <module>

Thank you for your quick reply!

I've tried your given code:

bt ~ # airdriver-ng loaded
Found following stacks loaded (as module):

Found following drivers loaded (as module):
31. Ralink rt73 (legacy)

The second one I didn't understand, when typing modinfo <module>

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'


The outcome didn't make clear what driver version is loaded. I was hoping that i would see the driver info like: rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.1


Maybe Im doing something wrong..... (i'm new to linux, so i've got to learn a lot!)

My friend,

please try to learn some basic linux stuff before you post. Google and man command are your friends.

man modinfo
