backtrack4 ipw2100 module not being loaded for intel pro wireless b lan
I can't get my wireless card to be used/assigned under backtrack4. I know it works I've used it on other backtrack installs.
Everything seems to point to backtrack recognizing/seeing it, but it's not recognizing the eth1/wlan0/ath0 interface when I try to set it up.
ThoughtS?
