No WIFI Interface T42 - Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG

[Tularis]

Hey,

I'm trying to run BackTrack on a T42 with a "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG" internal wireless card.
But I don't get a WLAN0 or WIFI0 interface after doing a ifconfig.

I have been googling the hell out of this but can't seem to figure this out.

Can anyone help?

The error is right in your log also if I am not mistaken it has been covered before
Read your log carefully.
