You are running Ubuntu virtually that means the host OS will give the wireless to the guest application (Ubuntu 10.10). I think it will be marked as wired connection.

Try the command ifconfig and see the output.

Yes, it looks like the host OS won't let you use the wireless directly but gives it to the guest OS as an ethernet card (cable connection).

BUMP

I have installed ubuntu (dual boot) but i have new problem . Wireless WORKS fine !




stefan@ubuntu:~$ sudo airodump-ng wlan0
ioctl(SIOCSIWMODE) failed: Device or resource busy

ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet) - expected ARPHRD_IEEE80211,
ARPHRD_IEEE80211_FULL or ARPHRD_IEEE80211_PRISM instead. Make
sure RFMON is enabled: run 'airmon-ng start wlan0 <#>'
Sysfs injection support was not found either.
