Working with Wireless

Post by vsridhars »

Hi,

By default, the 4 virtual network adapters that are configured within VirtualBox Guest - are ethernet adapters.

At home - I have a wireless connection.
The HOST Linux OS - works fine with the wireless - and the same primary connection gets shared via NAT and the guest Windows Host also works fine. No issues.


At work - the corporate wireless setup is not so straightforward - as it uses domain specific authentication. Hence, neither my linux OS works with the wireless connection -- nor have I figured out how to transfer this wireless card connectivity to the guest OS.

My thought is - instead of the NAT mode - if I use one of the other two modes - I should be able to share the Wireless device directly on the Guest System. Anyone who knows more about this - I could do with some help here.

Read the manual - am yet to finish the configuration - but my basic doubt is the manual describes sharing ethernet access to the guest (and not wireless access). Unless I get the wireless card detected in the guest OS, it would not be possible to setup the wireless drivers to authenticate live from the guest Windows.

I'm curious about this too. I need to bridge my wireless in order for it to work right?
