    I'm trying to use "Backtrack" a slackware based live cd with a WMP54G (linksys) card to detect some security problems using kismet.

    Does anyone know how to get the card working with this live CD?

    Unsure of with this cd specifically, however you must find out the chipset the card uses.
    Take a look at 'lspci', which should give you some idea.
    Then find out what driver supports this card (if any), if none do, try ndiswrapper.
