    Backtrack is off-topic here. Please ask on Unix & Linux.

    Please see: askubuntu.com/questions/178804/wireless-network-in-virtualbox Especially: "There is no wireless connection inside the virtualbox environment. All "virtual" connections are in reference to cable/wired connected ones. So when you enable a Network card in your virtual guest, it is a virtual wired connection you are creating not a virtual wireless one."

First of all: This forum is about Ubuntu. Questions about other Linux distributions such as BackTrack should be posted on Unix&Linux StackExchange forum. Anyway, BackTrack is old and deprecated. Use Kali Linux instead of it!

But although I can provide you some help here. The ifconfig does not show any wireless device! It only shows eth0 which is a wired connection and lo which is the local loopback interface. Therefore you also can not detect any devices with aircrack. As you run BackTrack inside a VM, I think the problem is how your VirtualBox(?) bridges the physical wifi adapter to your VM.
But unfortunately I don't know about how this would get virtualized, so giving you this hint is all I can do.
I hope it helped you anyway. Greetings!

    Next time, flag the question as "Offtopic" - it does not help to have a post answering this if the post itself is going to get nuked as a result of "offtopic"

    @ThomasW. I answered this because Ubuntu would exactly behave in the same way. I have both Kali and Ubuntu and run the aircack suite on both of them.
