Network Adapter
Greetings backtrack members. I am in the need of some assistance. I just recently installed BT4 to my hard drive with no problems. I then was able to create a new username/password via root login. Everything looks great, love the KDE environment. However, I still have one big problem- no internet. I am currently using a linksys-g usb adapter WUSB54GC. I then followed the networking how-to, opened up konsole and entered the following information
/etc/init.d/networking start
I was told this would fix my problem. Be that as it may, it did not. It seemed to be searching ports, and was unable to find my adapter. Furthermore, from the looks of it my adapter seemed to not want to turn on. Please if you have any suggestions, or need any clarification, I will be glad to assist. I just want this to work, I finally got a reliable computer and am now able to run BT4
Thanks in advance!

Re: Network Adapter
As reluctant as I am to assist someone with a NYJets nick, <grin>, there are a couple of ways to get going; give this a try:
go to GUI (startx)
open a command shell
You should see: "Starting network connection manager: wicd"Code:/usr/bin/start-network
Back to GUI - Pull up "Internet" Tab and select "Wicd Network Manager"
In preferences, make sure your interface is selected
Select the AP you want to use. Make sure the settings are proper, i.e. encryption type and key (Advanced tab).
Poke around... you will get it.
Re: Network Adapter
So I took your advice and got Wicd Manager running. However, even after inputing my settings, which I am not entirely sure I did it right, It still did not recognize my adapter. Furthermore, it seems that my adapter will not turn on while BT4 is running, but it will when I run Windows XP home edition SP3. Don't know if that matters or not but...
Don't know if this matters, but will share anyways, it may.....

It repeats this a few times. Any suggestions? Again my apologies, I am rather new to BT4.
Re: Network Adapter
Then pull up Wicd through the GUI? That worked for me in the beginning.Code:/etc/init.d/wicd start
what does iwconfig show you?
Re: Network Adapter
You really do need to do as Archangel asked; provide us the outputs from lspci and ifconfig.

No at this point it does not matter. First you need to understand what is happening when you run the above command.Don't know if this matters, but will share anyways, it may.....

It simply goes to all interfaces that are in the script and configures them to "turn on" and grab an IP address from the DHCP service. Now this is all good except, one if you do not have a dhcp service running then you will probably run into problems.
If you only have one interface on the machine then there is no need to start all of the others and waste time/resources. If the adapters do not find a IP address then they will sleep for a time and then look again.
So as I stated before in the first post post the output from the two commands.
Once we can determine that the adapters are recognized by the kernel then we can move forward.

Re: Network Adapter
See now we are getting somewhere.
Also use the code tags it helps. But I fixed this one for you.
Now then as you note above the only networking adapter mentioned is in red and broadcom has crappy support under linux.
However yours may be one of the ones that actually works. I would suggest looking over at google for more info.
As for the ifconfig output you will notice that there is no adapter interface (other than the lo).
Again I would also suggest you look into whether your version of the usb device you first mentioned is compatible.

Re: Network Adapter
I found the chipset for my adapter. It is Ralink chipset RT2070L. So I downloaded the file and I am having difficulty installing it. Do you have any suggestions?
