[GNOME32]

I'm having a problem with Ubuntu as a VM, particularly with my wireless card. I have Ubuntu installed in a seperate ext3 partition, and the wireless card is recognized, but when I boot up Ubuntu in a virtual machine (using VMware worstation 6.0.2 build-59824 in Windows XP SP2), my wireless card is not. My wireless card is a Realtek RTL 8185. I do not, however, have the latest version of VMware tools installed. Does that matter? and what can I do to get it to work in WMware Workstation?
I'm using the Ubuntu 7.10 WMware Image Download (English) VMware Appliance I got here:

thanks!

I think there's been recent thread about installing similar Wireless ethernet card, you might also like to search for Wireless Linux HOWTO. http://forums.techguy.org/unix-linux...-wireless.html

I'm not sure how VMware manage access to the interface, when presumably XP is also using it. It used to be possible to network via a VMware interface, which then passed packets onto the host OS. Perhaps this won't work, due to M$'s ideas on routing being a server license function.
