Re: Getting BROADCOM Wireless to work in BackTrack! .

Hi, I got some problem getting the wireless interface to work. I followed the guide above, but i get an error message when i run the make command in the driver folder.

The error message:
Code:
root@bt:~/hybrid-wl# make
KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`

When i try jockey-gtk i get a popup and i activate the interface there but nothing happens, did i miss something here?

My firend thought that it had to do with the new Kernel version being introduced in R1. I have no idea if it works in BT4 Final, also i'm a complete noob at Linux.

I tried apt-get update / upgrade with no results.

It's a laptop with a built-in Broadcom 802.11n. It works flawlessly when i run Windows 7.

According to lspci:
Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)

Any ideas?

Hi All,

BackTrack 4 newbie here ,I've just installed BT4 final Live CD onto my Mac Book Pro 15. Using MAC OSX 10.6.4. I've researched many websites regarding which USB wireless network interface to use in order to use packet injection etc. I'm still confused right now. My wireless setup is;

Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x8D)
Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.91.27)


(See attachment for detail)

I get no response when i try to use airmon-ng (See attachment) .

Can you give me some advice on which wireless adapter i need to get.

Just to give you some idea on what i'm trying to achieve here. I'm trying to crack into my wireless network via WEP or WPA encryption, then try and progress from there.

Thanks in advance for your positive response. Cheers..!!!

BackTrack 4 Newbie

(Solution found)
i had the same problem with Broadcom BCM4313 driver installation.
after apt-get upgrade it just stopped to work, and there where no Broadcom WiFi adapter in "ifconfig -a" command.
I've found the solution here:
Problème wifi+ luminosité Samsung NF310 (newbie)

Just follow the instructions, and patch the "wl_linux.c" file.
Good luck
