  USB Wifi not working in VMWare (BackTrack5)

  Okay I am a 100% (complete) newb when it comes to anything linux. I hope that you guys (and girls) can help with this problem I'm having. I have VMWare that I am using to run BackTrack5. I'm trying to use my wifi adapter (USB NETGEAR WNDA3100 V2) to connect, but when i use the command iwconfig it stays "no wireless extensions." On my actual machine I'm running Windows 7, and I checked to make sure the USB is on (in the settings) and the network is on also (in the settings). Please tell me how I can get this thing to work.
