Someone teach me basic networking for linux

[thetom]

Hello,

i'd like to test com_on_air Type 2 card with backtrack 4 final.

I did an aptitude install dedected

Then i put in my card. dmsg shows only pcmicia card is inserted. But it doesn't not recognize the card. a insmod com_on_air_cs.ko fails, too.
So dect_cli can't be run, as device is not "open". It seems i have

I've latest backtrack updates installed (Kernel 2.6.30.9) .
Did i miss something? What is needed to basicly check if card is ok?

Well, i'm sorry but this is not getting me any further

As i'm no natural english speaker i'll try to reexplain what i like to do:

i want to test if my com_on_air card is in order and recognized by backtrack4.
So i searched and find a lot of tutorials how to get backtrack and com_on air working, but none for bt4 final.
As BT4 final has it's own dedected package i'd like to use this one, instead of building my own kernel module.

So i installed dedected module so i could verify recodnize of card via dmesg. but here kernel modul fails / isn't loaded.

So either i have missed a step (which mostly will be the reason) or dedected package of bt 4 is not operating as should or i missed to install one more package.

To make it clear : i don't want a tutorial how to use dedected tools or similar. I just wanna verify card is working and supoorted by bt4 and i don't have bought a card which is out of order.

btw: i can't get new title "Someone teach me basic networking for linux" in relation to loading kernel modul / using pcmcia card . Can someone explain. So i can make better topics next time.

I solved the problem.
Missing step is to load pcmcia driver.

To help others having same problem, here a 4 steps verify card is working:
#aptitude install dedected
#insmod /lib/modules/2.6.29.4/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia.ko
#insmod /pentest/sniffers/dedected/com-on-air_cs-linux/com_on_air_cs.ko
####verify####
#dmesg | tail -n50

To get dect_cli working one step is still needed:
#mknod /dev/coa --mode 666 c 3564 0

Now you can be sure card is ok.
Stop here don't do anything you are not allowed to do!
