The fact you're using a .bmp disallows you from doing alpha-testing. If you can in some way put in an alpha mask, then you'll just have to upload the texture and draw a quad with ALPHA_TEST enabled.
To do this, you may want to use a different format with explicit per-pixel alpha such as .tga or .png (raccomanded) or use two .bmp, one for color and one for alpha. Then load both of them and take RGB from the first, swizzling A from the second.
I don't get how you can not get it working but if you still have problems, post them here.

it's possible if you use color keying.
load it the same way as the last method Krohm described.
But instead of a second bitmap you use a special predefinend color to control the alpha.
That color would normaly be "magic pink" or (1.0f,0.0f,1.0f) since it is rarely used.
