no42 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) I expected from your /var/log/messages output that the wireless driver had loaded, and created a new interface. However, the output of those commands indicate this has not happened. You could try : Download this file to your Desktop: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kerne...d2acb7;hb=HEAD Open up a terminal and enter these commands one after the other (you will be asked for your password on the last step) cd Desktop sudo mv ar9271.fw /lib/firmware reboot and see whether it works. Be sure to unplug your device and plug it in again after rebooting. If it doesn't, follow these steps: Download this file to your desktop: http://wireless.kernel.org/download/...ss-2.6.tar.bz2 Then open a terminal and enter these commands one after the other (you will be asked for your password on the last step): cd Desktop tar xjvf compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 cd compat-wireless-2.6 ./scripts/driver-select ath9k_htc make && sudo make install after that reboot. Failing that - I would suggest try updating to Kali, as backtrack isn't really supported! Edited July 20, 2014 by midnitesnake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that, it will work if i use the same usb device with same backtrack in my desktop computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
