Often with Backtrack3 the iso download gets schnerbed. So the BT3 disk boots
partially on one try and completely on the next.
It's incredibly annoying, but with any ISO burn, if it doesn't work
consistently, toss the disk, verify the checksum, and reburn!
These cards have been tested to work in BT3:

Find your card and see the recommendations.
# dmesg
# ifconfig -a
You should see your card loaded, and you should see a device.
#lspci
Generally with BT3, your best bet is going to be using the Wireless tools in
the menus, until you determine what is what.
Hey also, if you are on a shared wireless network check out the SMB4k - be
careful not to get into trouble here.
Ethical hackers learn they do not impact the systems they study, (unless paid)
and they DO NOT GO TO JAIL!

Subject: rausb0 up
From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
it is strange. after I had downloaded backtrack3 and fired it up and the distro
automaGICALY FOUND THE WIRELESS CARD AND i HAD WEB-ACCESS. the two subsequnt
times I loaded it I didn't have web-access and that left me dum-founded. So I
looked around and found that 'rausb0 up' is the comand I need to use but linux
told me that that wasn't the device name. So please tell me, what is it that is
assigned to an internal wireless card. How should I find out if you can't tell
me.
You know.... I just looked at what I thought the device is called and just
realived (DUHHHHH) it isn'r a USB device
