[hattrick]

[short and simple, lol]

I installed backtrack in vmware and it is telling me my wireless card is eth0, and when I type iwconfig, it says there is no wireless extensions..

any fix for this?
any opinions respected, greatly.

Only USB adapters work in vmware, so if you're using a PCMCIA card, it will not work.

I have 3 different OS's running, vista, xp pro, and bt3...

the Windows recognize the pcmcia card, knows its wireless, and works fine...

Dear theprez98,
I've heard some new driver (like (ipwraw-ng-2.3.4-04022008.tar.bz2 for intel 3945) is able to work in VM (but I myself can't install it because I am newbie in linux... )
is it right or I am makeing mistake?

Whether or not something works or not, vmware does not support PCMCIA cards.
