hi i dont think ive posted here before im running bt3 (final), my wireless card is a linksys wusb54gc (rausb0) the information i am getting is from a shell using commands iwconfig and ifconfig. i am also using wireless assistant 0.5.7 and kwifimanager. the problem started when i was fiddling about trying to ad an external antenna. i got soldering, connected up and got no signal. which i did have before, but which i mite not of had because i was fiddling with commands (that i dont yet know too much about). i have since had a successful attempt at broadening my wireless network with another wireless card to which i have a good signal. now i have connected it back up to have another bash and searching around i found this on the backtrack website ---------------------------------------------------------- Linksys WUSB54GC * Driver : RT73 * Chipset : Ralink Technology, Corp. 802.11b/g WiFi * Notice 1: The interface is named rausb0, not eth0 or ath0 etc. * Notice 2: Built-in [BackTrack] Driver does not support fragmentation attack; however, the following driver does: http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/rt73-k2wrlz-2.0.1.tar.bz2 Needs activation before use bt ~ # ifconfig rausb0 up bt ~ # iwconfig rausb0 mode monitor Everything works out of the BT3 box ------------------------------------------------------------ which has now brought it back to life but the signal level is well ill show you. with the commands (ifconfig iwconfig) iwconfig rausb0 RT73 WLAN ESSID:"" Nickname:"" Mode:Managed Frequency=2.412 GHz Bit Rate=54 Mb/s RTS thrff Fragment thrff Encryption keyff Link Quality=0/100 Signal level:-121 dBm Noise level:-115 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0 ifconfig rausb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:6B:9F:AD:22 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1521 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:8782 (8.5 KiB) TX bytes:152448 (148.8 KiB) this makes me think that i havent completely knakerd the hardware up which i thought before. because it seems to be working, but the signal level is lower than the noise level. i am also running another network adapter (ath0) any help would be appreciated
