markss Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I failed to install USB adapter to Backtrack, so I need professional help. I have BackTrack 5 R3 with VMware. I somehow installed driver for Atheros AE9271 but still when I type "iwconfig" I see only "eth0" and "lo". I'm using Alfa AWUS036NHA with Realtek AR9271 chipset.

tom564 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I have not had any experience with VMware but i am sure with virtual box you need to allow the guest OS to access the NIC via a setting in VMware or something along those lines. I may be completely wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 See this: http://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/27374-vbox-issue-with-awus036nha/ If I'm not mistaken, there is an issue with VMWare as well. Check your dmesg logs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
