Its because of the USB. They need special drivers and I am not sure if there are any Linux ones available. VM don't provide any.

The best thing to do is to buy an ethernet card. They are less than 10 quid new, and once you have one you can use an ethernet cable and Linux would detect it fine and use the Internet.
