Wlan0 problem
Hello guys, I'm new to this forum
I'm having some problem with backtrack, its not installed at vmware or what so ever
When i start the networking first
/etc/init.d/networking start
It's starting fine and i do startx

This is my network card name if u need it

Re: Wlan0 problem
you can do it automaticaly if your network has dynamic IP addressing with starting wicd client. Do that with "wicd start".
If you use static addresing then you can still configure it through wicd (at least i think so), or you can do it through shell by selecting IP address gateway and DNS
Re: Wlan0 problem
/etc/init.d/networking start is the right way to go. How about u try starting it after you issue the startx command. You can also just simply use dhclient eth0 instead to start networking on your ethernet card.
Some troubleshooting commands:
Netstat -pan|head //Look to see if you see udp port 68 is listening
ps -ef|grep dhclient //checks to see if the dhcp client daemon is running

iwconfig wlan0 essid (PUT YOUR SSID NAME)
ifconfig wlan0 (PUT YOUR LOCAL IP) netmask (PUT YOUR MASK)

Re: Wlan0 problem
ESSID is your network's name. Your question would have been easily answered with a quick search on google with the term "ESSID".
