Hi all,
Installed Backtrack5 r2 on my netbook and I've been having some issues, odd as I've not had them before with this distro.
The had issues in that it wouldn't connect to a wifi connect and pick up an ip address, had the same issues with a mates wifi. It was connecting and getting to the "fetching IP address" bit then getting a "unable to get IP address" failure.
Having spent 2 days googling and trying lots of different things it appears to have been fixed. It connects to the wifi point, fetches IP and appears to be successful but then it just seems to drop it.
Any ideas on what to try? Kind of jumping in the deep end with backtrack but it's a good learning experience.
