put your wifi card in managed mode with command
iwconfig (eth0,1,wlan0,rausb0 or other interface u have) mode managed

and don't forget to tell BT3 if u do not use DHCP, other options like Gateway, IP, Subnetmask and so on.

There is a thread in Tutorials section for the possible commands, and files u have to edit if u use the command line.

my card is in managed mode!

hey Yoma,

Actually the problem i can feel that is of the encryption you are using on your router....if its not WEP then u will not be able to connect....just try to find out....
If its WPA/WPA2 with AES or Without AES then there are some very good tutorials in the Tutorial section by Exploitz..try those....

[imported_St3f@n]

the other side of encryption is:

what are your using: dhcp?, permanent IP (did u set your ip and standart gateway)? oh saw your are using "default"

did you use the "dhcpcd eth0" command?

check this thread, here are all infos to set up your card to connect with or without dhcp:

i actually dont really use wireless, but i tried like someone mentioned (in wassinstant or whatever name is), i choose option to enter all info of the router/internet. I type in:

ip add, netmask,gateway, dns1 and dns2, then wpa2 tkpi/aes key.

Press connect and it worked....

my lan uses dhcp, but i only reserved 6 ip's (5 for: 2 laptops, 3 pc's) and extra one for my neighboors if they decides to crack my wpa2 hahah

so if noob like me can get wireless connection... u should get it wit no problems
