configuring wireless USB Belkin adapter for Backtrack
Ok so I am trying to run BT3 from a live USB, it boots up fine and i can run the startx window interface and everything.
I cannot get it to recognise my wireless usb adapter. When I boot up Ubuntu this is detected fine and i get the following information
Ubuntu
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 050d:815f Belkin Components F5D8053 N Wireless USB Adapter v6000 [Realtek RTL8192SU]
T: Bus=01 Lev=02 Prnt=03 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 9 Spd=480 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=050d ProdID=815f Rev=02.00
S: Manufacturer=Manufacturer Realtek

I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 4 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=rtl819xU
on backtrack though when I run the command lsusb this is all i get.
Bus 1 Device 7: ID 050d:815f Belkin Components
I guess there must be a way to configure the device to work with back track I just want to know how. Any ideas? I can supply more info on request

Is there a reason that you're using BT3? BT4 is based on Ubuntu, it ought to work with your hardware and can be updated.
