Hey everyone, I'm using a Compaq X6000 outfitted with a broadcom wireless card. I'm not positive what chipset I'm using, and I don't know how to find out.
Anyway, I tried installing the unsupported BroadCom driver from wildpackets.com, but was unable to detect any networks with it. It installs alright, but no networks come up when I know they should.
I read somewhere that linux can simply do "monitor" mode with wireless cards - I got a live distro, "BackTrack", which boasts an impressive plethora of network hacks and toys. That boots up fine.
Unfortunately, it doesn't detect my wireless card. I don't think it has my drivers yet. What do I do!?
Any and all help is appreciated,
