Installing Vmware Tools in VMware Fusion 1.3.2 - Problems with networking afterwards

[ToonVA]

Hello


I have some problems with installing VMware Tools with backtrack 5.

I am not really in the Linux command's but I found some things and got some help of one of my friends.

The code I used:


prepare-kernel-sources
cd /usr/src/linux
cp –rf include/generated/* include/linux/

apt-get install linux-headers-‘uname –r’
mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom
cd /tmp
tar zxpf /media/cdrom/VMwareTools-*.tar.gz
cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl

Enter, Enter, Enter, ….



When prompted:

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running kernel?

Type:

/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.38/include


That works well

Vmware tools is Installed, but now I can't start networking with my Alfa Awus 036H.

It give's error 132 --> Don't know what that means but, it don't work.


Any ideas?


Thanx in Advance



PS: The network card is an Alfa Awus 036H - Backtrack 5 KDE 32bit - VmWare fusion 3.1.2 - Macbook Pro 15" (medio 2010)

Sorry for the English can't write it that good

on my thinkpad, need to switch on the wifi card.

If hardware switched off:
root@bt:~# ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
root@bt:~#

Don't need to worry about the error 132 than?

The interface is up but still got the error message.

I thing it has to do something with the VMware Tools installation.

I made a snapshot before the installation, and there is no problem with the commands. (the commands that generate the error)

search the forum for the error, it has been discussed many times

You may need to check your configuration for your network adapter, specifically the Ipv4 configurations, as well as any additional components the VM has created inside the properties box. It can often cause problems with your connection later.
