Backtrack 4 VMware In Windows XP

**2Fast** · 07-05-2010

Hello to everyone. I have a problem with my Backtrack 4. When I open the new shell and if I try to type the AIRMON-NG, it wont show me any kind of device. But, if I start the booting BT4 directly from the CD before my Windows starts, then it work fine for me. And if I try to use the airmon-ng command after the Windows started then it wont give me devices. If you have any solution for this, then give me details about it.
