No wifi on my vm, using Ubuntu 20.04

Post by SpLayzDK »

Hi, i can't access the web, because i changed some settings to allow bridged adapter (which failed). Now im stuck on my vm without any internet access.
I have the network attached to NAT, but i also tried all the other options, without any luck. :(

If you are looking for Wi-Fi inside your VM, you won't get it with only Virtualbox. All of the adapters availabe inside the VM are wired Ethernet adapters.

The only way to have real Wi-Fi in the VM is to provide a USB Wi-Fi adapter, then use the Virtualbox USB filters to pass the USB device directly into the VM.

You'll have to describe what you changed, so either you can remember how to change it back via rubber-duck debugging, or we can show you what to do.
