Assuming I understand the configuration correctly (BackTrack Linux inside Workstation, running on Win7x32) this is normal.

The guest does not have direct access to the network hardware on the host. It has a virtual network adapter that simulates a wired connection.

If you need wireless functionality inside the guest, you can try using a USB wireless adapter, and forwarding it to the guest through USB redirection.
