hi i dont think ive posted here before
im running bt3 (final), my wireless card is a linksys wusb54gc (rausb0)
the information i am getting is from a shell using commands iwconfig and ifconfig. i am also using wireless assistant 0.5.7 and kwifimanager.
the problem started when i was fiddling about trying to ad an external antenna. i got soldering, connected up and got no signal. which i did have before, but which i mite not of had because i was fiddling with commands (that i dont yet know too much about).
i have since had a successful attempt at broadening my wireless network with another wireless card to which i have a good signal.
now i have connected it back up to have another bash and searching around i found this on the backtrack website
----------------------------------------------------------
Linksys WUSB54GC
* Driver : RT73
* Chipset : Ralink Technology, Corp. 802.11b/g WiFi
* Notice 1: The interface is named rausb0, not eth0 or ath0 etc.
* Notice 2: Built-in [BackTrack] Driver does not support fragmentation attack; however, the following driver does:
http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/rt73-k2wrlz-2.0.1.tar.bz2
Needs activation before use
bt ~ # ifconfig rausb0 up
bt ~ # iwconfig rausb0 mode monitor
Everything works out of the BT3 box
------------------------------------------------------------
which has now brought it back to life but the signal level is well ill show you.
with the commands (ifconfig iwconfig)
iwconfig
rausb0 RT73 WLAN ESSID:"" Nickname:""
Mode:Managed Frequency=2.412 GHz Bit Rate=54 Mb/s
RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Link Quality=0/100 Signal level:-121 dBm Noise level:-115 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
ifconfig
rausb0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:6B:9F:AD:22

RX bytes:8782 (8.5 KiB) TX bytes:152448 (148.8 KiB)
this makes me think that i havent completely knakerd the hardware up which i thought before. because it seems to be working, but the signal level is lower than the noise level.
i am also running another network adapter (ath0)
any help would be appreciated
