Question : Problem: Configure wireless network card on BackTrack Linux

I'm running BackTrack Linux ( http://remote-exploit.org/backtrack.html ).  I am trying to set up a wireless network connection.  I  have 2 wireless NICs available: an embedded Broadcom NIC (MAC 00:14:A5:XX:XX:XX), and a USB Belkin NIC (F5D7050, RT2570 chipset, MAC 00:17:3F:XX:XX:XX).  I want at least one of them to be able to connect to the following types of wireless networks:
- unsecured
- WEP
- WPA
- WPA2

Answer : Problem: Configure wireless network card on BackTrack Linux

Did you check the wireless card compatibility for backtrack: http://backtrack.offensive-security.com/index.php?title=HCL:Wireless

At least USB dongle should work with rt2570 driver: http://backtrack.offensive-security.com/index.php?title=HCL:Wireless#Belkin_F5D7050B

If you see it with 'ifconfig -a' or with 'iwconfig', it's recognized.
