How to disable Internal Wireless card on Backtrack

Open a Terminal and type innano /etc/network/interfaces
Comment out the the one that is your Internal Wireless cards Interface using the # sign place it infront of the Wireless Interface.
Might be wlan0 recommend you do a iwconfig in the Terminal so you can get all the interfaces installed eth0 is basically the Ethernet its not a wireless interface if you see eth0.

Make sure you remove or unplug your external wireless card so you don't disable to wrong one.

When you find and comment out the internal wireless cards Press CTRL + X and then type y and then press enter should take you back to root@bt:~#

Then just type /etc/init.d/networking restart
And  this will restart the networking you shouldn't have the Internal wiresless card listed anymore if you commented the right one out.
