BT5 Unable to connect wirelessly. - mothered - 05-20-2012
Greetings HC,
So basically, I can't connect to my wireless network with BackTrack 5 R2. A message of "unable to get IP address" comes up.
I can connect via LAN (ethernet) no problem. I've Inputed the IP address, default gateway, subnet mask, but still no go.
I'm new to Backtrack. All help Is greatly appreciated.

Try hard wiring into a network, and install your wireless driver. I had the same problem when I first installed BT

I had many problems when i first installed back track.
you should check that your card is working correctly using:
lshw -c net
iwconfig
take note of your driver module, you might have to reload that with
rmmod (drop module)
modprobe (load module)
basically my fix was in this sequence:
ifdown -a --force
ifup -a --force
rfkill unblock all
rmmod ath5k
modprobe ath5k
(ath5k is the module, mine was ath5k, for atheros cards, so your is whatever module is listed in the lshw)
service networking stop
service networking start
:wink:
