I used a copy of backtrack to test it and it had the card working and connect to the network without any setup on my part at all so I know it can work. I have encryption disabled for now so I don't have to worry about it. I plan to turn it on after I get it to work without it. I don't know what info you need so just ask for it. Thanks in advance.
