The whole point of a virtual machine is that the guest OS never sees the real hardware. The virtual ethernet card in VMware isn't a wireless one, so you can't use wireless features. However, the guest OS should be able to recognize the virtual ethernet card. If the guest isn't seeing the card, you might try installing the VMware tools.
