[Backtrack5] Wi-fi problem

[Harout]

Hi,
I just downloaded Backtrack5 and I'm emulated it with VMWare Player but I have a problem.
When I use the command airmon-ng, It finds nothing.
When I use Firefox, it works !

airmon-ng

iwconfig

lo no wireless extensions.

So eth1 is my wi-fi card right ?
but look what I get :
airmon-ng start eth1

Found 1 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!

My computer is a Toshiba - Satellite L670-1LP, my wi-fi card is a Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC

Thanks in advance !

Thanks guy...

No, you don't have a wireless NIC in the VM. Google and the VMware documentation will tell you this.

[keanux]

BT5 does NOT see your wifi card. BT5 sees a generic wired NIC. VMware is passing data from the VM to the "real" NIC (wired or wireless) so that you reach external networks. Use the lspci command in BT5 and you will see a wired NIC listed and no wireless NIC.

in order for airmon-ng to see anything you need to buy a usb wifi adaptor ("usb wifi card").

one hint dont use vmware use virtual box its much smoother...
