Still working on installing Backtrack on the Evo.  Some problems partitioning but I think this is due to 4,000 cylinders on the drive and should solve it soon.  Interestingly, while the drivers from Taiwan compiled and worked fine, aircrack-ng would NOT show power.  But with the Backtrack 2 c/d, everything worked perfectly.
