@Nukllear47,

I am a user of VirtualBox and it supports USB device, such as USB wireless adapters. However, you should set the device to compatible to 1.0 at VirtualBox for some devices. You can refer to my blog for details.

As far as I know, Intel Wireless Link 5100 internal wireless card is treated as eth0 (or eth1, eht2 and etc) instead of wlan0 under VirtualBox. You just assign the interface number to the wireless card.

I have no experience in VMWare but I know that VMWare image can run under VirtualBox flawlessly.

hi,
Even I have the same Intel 5100 on my Dell Stu 1555. It will not work on vmware as vmware dosent support virtualisation of integrated wireless adapters. You can either have to purchase a compaitable usb adapter or run BT5 live using bootable disc. Bootup BT5 using a disk or USB whatever u prefer but it u will not be able to inject packets in live mode. At the end the point is Intel 5100 AGN card is not good at all with BT.

But still u can try this link to make it work which i havent tried yet : http://www.intellinuxwireless.org
