Hi Guyz!

I have a HP 15-n208tx notebook, and I was trying to access wifi on Backtrack 5 r2 which is running on VMWare, but its not showing up any wifi adapter. I've already tried so many tutorial while googling still no progress. I've also tried to install the driver but the result is same. Can anyone please help me with this.

Im sorry I forgot to tell that I am a newbie to Linux.

VMWare "hides" actual Ethernet / WiFi adapter and shows everything as "standard VMWare Ether adapter". Configure adapter as "bridged", as to expose it to BackTrack. Another option is to connect your WiFi USB directly to the VM, bypassing host computer.

Careful Alabalcho, I got 40 lashes with a wet noodle for helping someone here using a system used for cracking.
