Wireless now showing up in Backtrack 3

I have a Toshiba laptop with an Intel Pro Wireless 3945 adapter. If I boot backtrack from a CD, the wireless card is found and I can run airsnort and collect packets. When I use vmaware to boot backtrack3, my wireless card is not found. My network connection is set to host only in vmware. Any ideas?

Vmware emulates a regular ethernet card, and the OS running under vmware won't see that you have a wireless card on the host.
