You did ask if it was possible, you didn't ask how to do it at the same time, hence the short answer ;).


If you make a connection to the wireless network on the Host and disable TCP/IP on the NIC, the Host won't be able to use it. Select Bridged in the VM settings, pointing to the wireless NIC and you're ready to go.

Can you give some more information as to what you did, what works and what doesn't? Also note what you get instead.
