Help with enabling USB connected wifi device with BackTrack 5 R3
in Networking
I decided to use my second computer as my designated Backtrack 5 R3 computer, but unfortunately it's in the basement and is unable to get a wired connection.
I have been using a USB WiFi adaptor for the computer for the past two years, and it works fine on Windows but not Backtrack.
Please note that I am not running BackTrack 5 R3 on a VM, it is installed alongside my other operating system(s)...
Anyhow, I put in the disc for my WiFi adaptor and installed the software for it, but it won't run the program(I wasn't too surprised by this), so I can't enter my network details to connect to the internet the way I normally would.
I am still new to Linux, so how should I go about this problem?
Any and all help appreciated.
Thanks!

Then normally use the operating system you use network config settings and connect to the internet and it should work! If you have a network adapter try it with out the software as a standalone.
