[mealex123]

running vmware desktop-backtrack 4 r1
my operating system- windows 7
usb wifi- netgear WNA110

ran- /etc/init.d/networking start
ran- ifconfig eth0 up
nothing under- airmon-ng


done so many combinations.. is this a driver issue? what are the rules with the networking adapter in vmware. i can get the net up when i startx but it says my usb is there under one of the setting. can i get some help?

ok --> in vmware

so on start up i first install compact wirless driver bc my "WNA1100 netgear" wont work other wise, is this the wrong driver? its under
--->

cd /usr/src/drivers/compact*

plus when

i airmon-ng wlan0

i get

wlan0                    - [phy0]
                                (monitor mode enabled on mon1)
wlan1                    - [phy1]
mon0                     - [phy0]

when i

root@bt:/etc/init.d# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

i start up my network like im supposed to. idk why i cant get any thing.. no wiless and no

airodump-ng wlan0

hmm am i do this right?

[aerokid240]

Try using mon0 instead.
# airodump-ng mon0

wlan0 is in managed mode and would not permit you to monitor the air in the way you intend. What you want is your wireless adaptor to be in monitor mode (mon0 and mon1 are in monitor mode in your example):

# airmon-ng start wlan0
# airodump-ng mon0

Seems like you are way ahead of yourself. What exactly are you tryna do? Get connected to your wireless router or crack WEP/WPA? I don't really understand exactly what u are attempting.

ok,
i gave that a try it brings up the screen and all i see is the channels at the stop hopping around and i wait nothing at all from airodump-ng mon0. could the drivers im using be wrong. i even went and got drivers my self.

and do-->

./scripts/drivers select ath9k_htc
make && make install
make unload
make load or mpd probe ath9k_htc

than i try to iwconfig and get just the screen with no wireless extension. so no luck in wicd or airmon-ng.

a bit lost on this

well i would like to attempt the crack but iv tried both. i think its a bit important to see networks before i crack it wont pick anything up.
