I recommend you get the latest version of Backtrack 5 R3, also search for your wireless card and see if it works on Linux or not. Also it may require you to install the drivers for it.
Can't fint wlan0 on Dell Latitude E5400
Hi! I've god a Dell Latitude E5400, with BackTrack 5 R1. The computer has a dell wireless 1397 wlan mini-card.
So, when I type iwconfig, wlan0 does not show at all! I am new to this, but I've red and tried to disable Netword Manager without any good.
I am wondering wether this has to do with the fireware, but don't how to find and install the right version...
Or mabye it is something else?
Thanks for the help!

I found this site.. but as the newbie I am... I am unsure on how to install the drivers that I downloaded... Would have updated.. but run om a 10kbit/s right now, so that would take to much time..

Well Backtrack is an advanced Linux distribution, if you are new to Linux I would recommend you go with Ubuntu first or run Backtrack inside a VirtualMachine that should make Backtrack operational except for WiFi which required an USB adaptor.
Other than that I can not really advise you more since I do not have that laptop to test
