Infiltrator Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Try downloading the drivers for this wireless adapter and installing them to see if that works. Secondly, what operating system are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerro Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) Try downloading the drivers for this wireless adapter and installing them to see if that works. Secondly, what operating system are you running? l My operating system is Backrtack 4 R1, I've tried this drivers http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc but it doesn't work. I've tried one more way from website https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareS...orkCardsTP-Link about TL-WN422G v2.4. All is going well but when I type "sudo ndiswrapper -a 0cf3:1006 netathuw", error appears that 'netathuw' isn't right command. Ohh, and when I tried to install default driver from backtrack, error appears that the driver isn't right. Thanks for answers! EDIT When i open USBViewer i have this message, but storage memory and gsm modem still working fine...

digip Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 First, is your card actually supported by BackTrack? Best bet before purchasing a card, make sure its supported for the purpose you intend to use it for. http://www.backtrack-linux.org/bt/wireless-drivers/ Also, while some of us do use BackTrack, we don't know the compatibility of every card, nor would the creators of BackTrack, but if you want more help with this specific card, someone might have already asked the questions you are asking on the official BackTrack forums. A Quick search for wn422g yields many results: http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/sear...searchid=526412 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digip Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) I've checked and its compatible but how do i make the backtrack identify the usb wifi adapter????? Try a modprobe of the cards identifier. What that is I have no clue, but if its already supported, backtrack should show it after plugging it in when you do an ifconfig -a. If it doesnt show, then its not recognized and needs drivers installed for it. My card for example is a ralink with the rt73 chipset. When I plug it in, it automatically sees it as the rt73usb, but because there are two different branches of cards with this same identifier, I actually remove rt73usb driver and installed a different one. After doing that I now have to do a modprobe rt73 to load the new driver for the card, which then shows up as rausb0 under ifconfig -a. By the way, you might find the answer to your problem on that link I posted above. Many people seem to have the same problem with that card, see what their solution was to fix it(if they were able to) Edited September 10, 2010 by digip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
