I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 on VMware on a Windows 7 host OS.

Wireless connection is working fine on the host OS but Ubuntu is not even recognizing it.

What can be the problem here? Why is Ubuntu not recognizing Wireless network? What can I do to be able to use Wireless network in the guest OS in vmware.

Your problem is that VMWare's "Automatic" default appears to be your LAN (wired) connection, instead of the wireless.

Change it explicitly from Edit --> Virtual Network Editor as shown below:

@msPeachy This isn't trying to get information from the OP; instead, it is telling the OP what to do, to fix the problem. Right now, this answer is insufficiently clear and ought to be expanded, but it should not be a comment instead. – Eliah Kagan Sep 13 '12 at 21:20
