USB extensions and wifi adapters

Post by fullox »

i use wifi through the usb extensions and i want to be able to use two of the same model on two different virtual machines but there is a user problem where both are identical names under the interface. Im sure others have come across this problem would be nice if you could label them and not fight over the same device between virtual machines.
