I'm trying to connect to my wireless network on Backtrack 4. I have a Dell Studio 1558.
ifconfig and ifup show the wlan0 interface is up.
I ran
/etc/init.d/networking start
/etc/init.d/wicd
in a terminal, but when I open the network manager (menu > internet > wcid network manager), it says that no wireless networks are found.
Is this a driver issue? Does anyone know how to get wireless working?
There have been wireless issues in BT4, either upgrade to BT5 or have a look here in the Backtrack forums as there's loads of information there such as this link on wireless issues in BT5 - http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/showthread.php?t=43597.
What do you see in /cat var/log/wicd/wicd.log?
What does airmon-ng report?
