also i tried your driver and the driver you listed that works with backtrack 3 and i have tried this on bt3 bt4 beta and bt4, same errors on all. thanks again for any help to anyone.

I installed "apocolipse" driver with BT4-beta and it's working but not perfectly.

first I changed apocolipse "nano rt2870.h" to match my Linksys ID("lsusb" shows the numbers) in /include folder
then make && make install
then modprobe rt2870sta

now iwconfig shows my ra0


macchance wont work, also rate can't be changed.ifconfig ra0 down crash the system.

When I go to the driver and try to download it stated the file has expired or has been deleted.

Can someone post the file where I can pull it down please?

Thanks.

If you are talking about the links in the first post I tried them and they opened for download just fine.

Hi everyone,

I know this is a very basic question and I have searched around for a simple answer. I'm using BT3 (through vmware) and attempting to install the driver.

The closest step-by-step guide I've found is here: garrettreid.com/projects/installing-rt73-drivers-in-backtrack/ but that is for installing the rt73 driver instead of the newer, updated driver. I've been able to successfully download the correct driver using the method in the above tutorial but am stuck as to what do do from there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!
