Bt4 R1 And Wileress Problem with Atheros Ar9285 Integrated
Hellow everybody. Well i am new to Backtrack and i have problems getting my Atheros Ar9285 working. Although the system has found my card and the driver (ath9k) it can not find wireless networks. I will post help to see if you guys can help me.

Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.

Thank you for your reply. The commands i used is what i have posted already.I am trying to see wirelss networks through the wicd manager but nothing.
if iam gonna type "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" the answer also is "No scan results". Sorry for my Limited answer but i am new that's why i posted my problem to begginers forum.
