I have Fedora 12 running on my VMware. I am unable to see any options to enable WIFI connection on Fedora. When I am accessing Internet through WIFI and its working perfectly fine on Windows 7 (on which VMware is running on). Am I missing something here?

VMware will translate your wireless cards on the host to wired cards that are available to the guests. The only type of network card that you will be able to add to the guest is a hardwired card.
What you most likely want to do it setup the Fedora guest to use "Bridged" networking mode, and then config fedora to use DHCP.
Assuming (bad I know), that you are running VMware workstation on Windows 7:
Bridged networking guide
According to the Fedora Networking guide Fedora has NetworkManager set to DHCP by default, click the link to read more.

- Select a network name
- Select Bridged option in VMnet Information -> Bridge to : Automatic
- Apply
That's it. You might be asked the password to connect to network. Add it and you would be able to connect to the network.
P.S. - I will like to add screenshots of each step to simplify but currently I can't since I am new member. Hope it helps.
