Cann't use my usb wireless adapter D-link (DWA-131) works Backtrack5 R1 VMware


hello everyone
good day
This is my first post in here
I have a USB wireless adapter D-Link DWA-131.
I also have backtrack 5R1 on Vmware.
I installed the driver on the system, and here are some outputs:
root@bt:~# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 07d1:3303 D-Link System DWA-131 802.11n Wireless N Nano Adapter(rev.A1) [Realtek RTL8192SU]
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
root@bt:~# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

eth1 no wireless extensions.

eth2 no wireless extensions.

wlan0 unassociated Nickname:"rtl_wifi"
Mode:Auto Access Point: Not-Associated Sensitivity:0/0
Retryff RTS thrff Fragment thrff
Encryption keyff
Power Managementff
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0


please note that the chip of the adapter is RTL8192SU
and it's installed successfully on the system.

The problem comes when I can't use the wireless adapter to scan available networks.

root@bt:~# airmon-ng start wlan0


Interface Chipset Driver



please help me on this. I'll be appreciated.
