Here’s the workaround:
Execute:
root@cbug-nest:~# /usr/bin/start-network
After that clicking Internet -> Wicd Network Manager (or type /usr/bin/wicd-client on terminal) should bring you the Wicd Manager

See the # prompt on my post? ;) the default login on BackTrack 4 PreFinal is root
Anyway thanks for pointed it out, am sure it’ll be helpfull for another reader.
hi man! nice work!! it’ works ;-)
can u tell me how to make a .sh file (executable also) so i don’t have every time to tipe this commands ;-)
best regards
Do you have this sh ?
thnks for this topic
after that if u still can’t search wireless…try change Wired interface from eth0 to eth1 …..suceessfully with my hp tx2000…
Worked great for me….
sudo /usr/bin/start-network
then
sudo /usr/bin/wicd-client on
The network manager then appeared in the task bar…..
Thanks guys, I have spent the last day trying other suggestions for connecting to the network… Finally one that worked
actually the only reason I needed sudo was because I created another Admin account with my own user and password so I was no longer root….. If you are still using root you don’t need sudo
excellent…
sudo /usr/bin/start-network
worked perfectly for me!!!
cheers

kalo pake kabel gimana bro…..seandainya ip a pake ip static….?please…
how we setting to get the internet if i use the cable ? (note: ip static)
You still can set the ip address manually
(assuming your ip is 192.168.1.2 gateway is 192.168.1.1 and dns-server 192.168.1.1 )
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2
route add default gateway 192.168.1.1
echo “192.168.1.1″ >> /etc/resolv.conf
Just run from terminal console :
#/etc/init.d/networking start
Automatic search.
Yep, they’ve fix it on BT4 Final, but you won’t be that lucky on Pre-Final, I’ve tried this too and failed (that’s why my writings said it’s for Pre-Final version)
how can i install a wireless driver
It depends on your wireless card, what kind of wireless card do you have?
Thanks heaps man, I had tried everything before this.
