linux-howto

http://www.backtrack-linux.org – I am relatively new to Linux and have been trying to use Backtrack 5 but it doesnt detect my wireless card so I cant connect to any wireless networks, I am using a Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC wireless card. I was wondering is there anything I can do like download drivers/patches etc. to make my internal wireless card work, or will I have to buy an external USB wifi adapter. Also I am booting via USB.

Realtek Wireless Woes 9 weeks 5 days ago

I bought the yoga 13, and have the same issue with other penguins using this machine. (Wireless card Realtek RTL8723AE-BT is not recognized)

I'm or 13.04 hoping the drivers have made it to the kernel.

I would love to get the internal wifi card functioning. (Also the backlight on the screen doesn't seem to be coming on after a suspend)

Bus 001 Device 009: ID 050d:945a Belkin Components F7D1101 v

at first i could detect wireless networks, but after the computer rebooted after i activated the wireless card, i no longer can. I can connect to the internet via cable, wired connection but not wireless, help? how do i detect and connect to my wireless network.

I purchased USB Wireless adapter which runs smoothly on Windows and Ubuntu, but in BackTrack it showing me Bad password issue. From my reading I guess it's driver issue which BackTrack Kernel don't have drivers for RTL8191SU (my) Adapter.

The Realtek site have drivers for kernels 2.6-2.9.

I'm using a Compaq Presario CQ62, and I believe my wireless card is Realtek RTL8191SE 802.11 b/g/n Wifi

My current issue is that it drops connection all the time and has a hard time connecting at all in some areas. Windows works perfectly for wireless.

anyone have any idea why?
