BackTrack 4 Beta VMware Virtual Machine
Hi I think i have a problem with backtrack 4 when i boot up with live cd i can see all the wireless routers but when i use backtrack4 with wmvare player no wireles connection availaable i dont know whats wrong could you help please???(ipw2200)
Short answer: The problem isn't with BT4, but rather that you haven't searched. This is covered in numerous threads.Originally Posted by digrev
Longer answer: VMware doesn’t attempt to virtualize wireless hardware. Also, most of the wireless pen testing tools require special drivers. Since they can't access they hardware directly (the VM does that), they won't work. You may be able to use a wireless USB device.

Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.
Are you using a usb adapter for your wireless? because I believe vmware only allows wireless through a usb, if that's the case just join the network with your host and bridge the connection
Now that is not true. Vmware can use most any wireless card regardless of the connection type. The problem is that it will see all internal cards as a generic intel nic, and act accordingly.

Is it usb? If yes, then yes you can use it. If no, then you can only use it as a generic "wired" network adapter, the host operating system will have to do all the connection work.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

If this was true, you'd think it might be listed among the "Key New Features", which it is not.
