Share wifi interface as wifi interface

Post by jerome.laforge »

Hello,
I want share my wifi interface as wifi interface in my virtualbox (windows 10).
Currently, Windows 10 can see this interface as ethernet interface (and not as wifi interface).
I have installed Guest Additions.

My computer is HP ZBook 15

Thx in adv.

VirtualBox offers no such feature.

However, if you want to write a simulation of a WiFi chipset and donate it to the project along with corresponding guest drivers then I'm sure the devs would be grateful.
