Wireless Network, BT4 running on VBox

[dinizthiagobr]

Hello, after 2 days with frustated attempts, i gived up and came here to ask for your help.
I already tried everything i found on internet.

so, let's to the facts, i am running BT4 on a VBox in my Ubuntu 10.04, wich my wireless and cable internet works fine.

On my Ubuntu:

~$ lspci | grep Atheros
01:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Atheros AR8132 / L1c Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev c0)

~$ ifconfig -a

~# iwconfig

eth0 no wireless extensions.

eth1 no wireless extensions.

I can use wireless on eth1, i didn't changed anything, as i use on Ubuntu on wlan0, i can use on BT on eth1. Cable internet i can use on eth0, normally, works fine.
But i can't use airmon, aircrack or anything that i want, so, please, HELP ME!

Dude, if you want to use well the resources airmon, aircrack, among other features wi-fi, forget the principle of VM. Give the boot to the dvd will backtrack and see that it will connect normally! Ok?

No virtualization software is able to control directly* your PCI devices. Only USB ones. Now you have 2 options:
Run BT4 from a DVD/USB/HDD;
Get a USB Wireless adapter.

*virtualization software usually creates some virtual adapters that function as a bridge between your network adapters and the software. But it will only give you access to the network your adapter is connected to, not the actual adapter.

Boot it from a Live CD bro. My friend had this same problem - in the end he just performed a complete HDD install and everything worked fine.
