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 -- :-)~MIKE~(-:
