Actually it does, at least under Windows which I am assuming you use as your host OS. I sadly can not provide you with a step-by-step tutorial for getting it to work, but google should be able to help you with this.

im not sure but i think there is no loopthrough mechanism like in xen. so its just possible to use a bridge or tap interface in vmware not the wireless itself.

I may be wrong however I believe the only wifi that vmware or any other virtual machine will support is USB.

PureH@te is right , VMware (Tested myself upto verison 6.0.2 anyway) does NOT support internal wifi cards or PCIMCA cards, USB only is the way to go..
