Alfa awus036h

[R4H0R4KH7Y]

I have BT5 installed on my computer with a duel boot on a hdd seperate from my windows install. I am using the Alfa AWUS036H and have it configured. I was able to run airmon-ng, ifconfig, airodump etc... i was able to collect the packets on my network and get my wep key, however when i went to connect with Wicd i get nothing. iwconfig shows:

 wlan1 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any 
mode:managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm 
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key: off
Power Management:off

(sorry I am posting on my laptop in windows since i cant connect with my desktop on BT)
airmon-ng shows

wlan1 Realtek RTL8187L (chipset) rtl8187 - [phy17] (driver)

The Wicd preferences are set with wlan1 for the wireless interface DHCP client automatic Route Table Flushing Automatic WPA supplicant driver: wext Backend: external
I have been surfing the BT forum, ubuntu forum and the BT wiki, trying different things, none of which have worked. I know my card is working cause I can pick up all the nearby networks on airodump

I'm able to connect with my ap with wpa encryption but then I have some problem.
After I set the bit rate all work fine.
Try with

/etc/init.d/wicd start
iwconfig wlan1 rate 1M

now use wicd-gtk to connect to your network.

P.S.
I have this pci card

02:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe

I install all compat-wireless driver and it works fine (no monitor mode or injection), but when I try to use the alfa backtrack freeze.
Installing the only driver i need from compat with driver selection script for pci card, the alfa isn't seen.

Backtrack 64 bit installed on hd.

You sir are a god among men. I spent hours combing the bt forum and google trying to get this thing working, not once did I read anywhere about setting the bit rate. I just booted wicd, set the rate and everything is working now.
I am fairly new to linux so I apologize if this is going to be common knowledge, but setting the bit rate like that is a permanent setting or one I will have to do every boot?

I have an issue with my ath9k device when my Alfa is plugged in ( wont connect to any network ). The ath9k works properly when I unplug the Alfa.

Just thought I would share
