I recommend you to paste lspci -nnk output here as the specs shown on the site aren't detailed enough. They never will be anyway.
I need help figuring out how to make my wireless card work with backtrack 4.
My Laptop specs can be found here .
When I type airmon-ng no Interface is beeing showed up. Any ideeas?
Thanks in advance.

i think your ethernet and wireless hardware already detected.
have you try to activate the network?
= to start networksudo /etc/init.d/networking start
= to start wicd --> to see all available connection around yousudo /etc/init.d/wicd start
or you can do that from KDE GUI
Click on the K Menu (icon on the left corner of the screen).
Services > NETWORK > Start NETWORK
Then
from K Menu again: Internet > Wicd Network Manager
the you can try to use airmon-ng, but make your "wlan0 up" first
When I type "sudo /etc/init.d/networking start " it keeps saying that No Device found. and at the end it says " Failed to start wlan0 " - something like this..
Any ideeas?
Btw thanks for your suggestions.![]()
try:
thenlspci | grep network
lspci | grep ethernet
and please paste the output here.
and try to do my previous post in root.. (without sudo command)..

Is this a live CD or full install w/ a user account?
try leaving sudo out of the command:
<sudo> /etc/init.d/networking start
then
<sudo> /etc/init.d/wicd start
from there go:
(sudo> airmon-ng start wlan0
then/or
<sudo> ifconfig wlan0 up
then the kind gentleman above said go to Menu -> internet -> Wicd Network Manager
Hope this helps
