Wireless driver

[Baulter]

I used to be big into Linux a few years ago, Thought about picking it up again. Installed BT5r3 but I forgot how to install my wireless drivers -_- I'm running on Ethernet, But iwconfig says I have nothing


# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth0 no wireless extensions.

I see my Ethernet driver there, But for my Wireless, The network controller, It doesn't say what driver it is? Am I missing something here? The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15 3521 model. Any help would be appreicated, I have a horrible kink in my back and it kills me to set straight up in the computer chair.


Here is also the lspci -v If it helps at all.

Is this for bt5r3 or kali?

[Baulter]

Bt5r3 I was over at the Ubuntu forums and they sent me here.

[sickn3ss]

This forum is for Kali Linux support not Backtrack I suggest you switch to that.
