Forwarding PCI-WLAN (Laptop)

Hi there,

I'm currently using Virtual Box under my Windows XP-Laptop and I'm now trying to forward the inbuilt wlan-device from my laptop via Virtual Box into SUSE 11.1.
What I want to do:
I want to forward the internal PCI-WLAN device on my Notebook into the SUSE 11.1, so that it does appear in "iwconfig" as wireless adapter.

Don't get me wrong. I don't want to simply forward the network-connection into SUSE... I want to see it as a wireless adapapter and i want do scan after wireles-networks in SUSE and so on....

I think that if this adapter would be USB, this should be much easier, but it should work with PCI, too...somehow.

Is there any way to get this solved?

Thanks so much for your help
