  Actiontec/Qwest 802AIN 11n won't work

  Okay, so I have the Actiontec/Qwest 802AIN 11n wireless adapter. The chipset in it is an ar9170 according to multiple posting on the internet about it. I have been trying for days to get this adapter to work but whenever I use the dsmeg/lsusb commands the adapter does not show up at all. Under Gnacktrack r2 I when I check what chipset it has it says ra9001u. I searched the forums but could not find a solution that worked for me. The power indicator on the usb is lit up but backtrack just seems to not see it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am using Backtrack 5r1 64bit gnome.
  
  If you have no clue what to do could you recommend a wireless card that has good signal strength/supports mon0 and injection? I'd prefer if it had 802.11N as that is what most of my network has. I've read too many negative reviews about the ALFA awus051NH disconnecting to want to try it.
