Only USB wifi cards are supported in VMWare:)

That's interesting. I am sitting here connected to my hotels WLAN using an Intel 4965 AG wireless card on BT3 which is installed on my hard drive.Quote:

I have not had success in connecting with my WPA Enterprise network at work but I can connect to both my WPA-PSK networks at home.
As far as I know the interface lo is the loopback interface and can't be used to connect externally, but then again I may be wrong. It would not be the first and most likely not the last time.
Are you using VmWare also DaKahuna?
NoCover - I have an Alfa WIFI USB, it works great with BT3... Also I'm pretty sure all USB wifi adaptors will work with VMWare (though someone may correct me on this)
No, I am not using VMware. I am dual booting.Quote:
