Backtrack 5 Wifi Problem

[shadow2121]

I downloaded bt5 and made it my OS but the problem is that my laptops wireless wifi card has a hotkey on the keyboard to turn it on and off and the hotkey doesn't work when I'm in backtrack. It just stays in the off mode. Any ideas?

what you‘v done to get your wifi working? Have you tried to start it from termina or is it already on, bt might not understand that swich but still your wlan card.

try ifconfig and post results here.
