Is your Internet not working at all? I believe that is how virtual machines work with a virtual lan connection to your host box which gets you your access.  If you're looking for straight wireless connection straight from your backtrack...you might be able to try unplugging your adapter (if possible) and plugging it back in and have it connect to your backtrack box instead of your ubuntu host.

you cant use backtrack to hack a network whilt it is in a virtual box, becuase it has no access to any network that the host is not connected to.... you'll have to boot it up from a pendrive or a cd 8)

No. Backtrack from a VM does not have access to onboard hardware, except for USB thingies, so using a USB wifi dongle would be good.

What they said :). You are better off running backtrack I have found either as a dual boot or a live cd so you can crack networks. VM's are great for setting up personal labs but not for cracking wifi.

Hello,

You might want to enable your device by going to the File Menu then Devices then select your device.

Not entirely true, most will work, but it's entirely dependent on if there are linux supported drivers that are compatible with the hardware (broadcom anyone? god I hate that shit).
