I've had this problem before, and the only solution will be to install backtrack directly onto your computer. I'd advise you use unetbootin since it simplifies the install.
What causes the problem is the way VMware is set up. Basically all your hardware is virtualized, and because of this, Backtrack won't be able to "see" your wireless card.
I see that you're trying to use airmon-ng, so i assume you're trying to use aircrack. The only way you can use that properly is if you can set the wifi card to monitor mode, and the only way to do this is to have "real" hardware, and install it directly onto your system.
However, if you're just trying to browse the web, then you can install the drivers that virtualize the hardware onto your system. I think there should be a popup in vmware asking to install some host driver, or something like that.
Hope that helps.
