Trying to get an AWUS036H usb adapter working...

[plasmas222]

I am running backtrack in vmware with win7 64bit as host os. All is good there. I purchased the AWUS036H adapter, received it, and cannot get it to work. It installs fine on all of my operating systems (win7 32 and 64bit, xp-sp3) but it does not work. Before I start the long process of getting it exchanged for another I want to make sure it is indeed faulty. I tried all suggested troubleshooting methods on data alliences page, several other random attempts, and came up with nothing.

When I plug it in, the light flashes once then never again. If i choose to install the optional utility program it will load up, but just as in adaptor settings under control panel, it has nothing listed for ip address, ipv4/6 or other settings. Nothing I have tried has fixed this. When checking ipconfig, it it not listed. It is installed correctly according to the given installation instructions and devmngr.


Suggestions?


Thanks
