http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi I am running Backtrack 5 R2 in Virtual box on a Windows 7 host. I have a Netgear WNA1100 n150 adapter that I am trying to use to get wireless. I put a filter in the VirtualBox network settings to use it with backtrack. It is visible when I type command "lsusb" but when I type "iwconfig" I get only "no wireless extensions" I have tried installing drivers and everything I can think of. Can anybody help me out here? Thanks in advance. :) (Hardware)

Hi all,

I am only using my wireless adapter during this test. I downloaded the VM of BT and booted up with VirtualBox, and when I attempt to find the wireless device via iwconfig, I get nothing.

Hi,

I have tried searching for a solution for days with no result. I am running virtualbox with backtrack on win7 host. A couple of days ago i had everything working and all was fine, until i tried bridging to an ethernet adapter. Now when i bridge to my wireless adapter, there is no inet address on guests eth0 (ethernet does not work either). I have also disabled the firewall.

I want to install the DLink N150 (DWA-125) Wireless USB adapter in Ubuntu 9.04

Running 10.04 on Satellite Pro 4600 with Netgear WG511 v1 Wireless Card. Wireless PC Card appears to be working (running Windows Drivers) but home network is "not available", the neighbour's wireless networks are "available". Lenovo T61 running 10.04 up and running with no problems. Home wireless is Netgear C9G24N v2 with WPA security. How do I "find" my home Wifi?

Hello,

Can anyone recommend a usb wireless card for completing the wifu training course.

The wireless adapter Netgear WN111v2 USB I haven't been able to find, and on netgear's website they don't advertise that one anymore.

I could purchase another usb adapter but I am concerned that they might not support injection or monitor mode.
