"Native" support for Airport - Network question
Posted: 22. Dec 2009, 17:52
Hi,
Forgive me if this is in another post or FAQ but I've not found it if it is. I'm running WinXP (SP2) as a guest on my MacBook. I'm using Leopard 10.5.8 and VirtualBox 3.1.2. I'm currently using the AirPort interface as Adapter 2: PCnet-FAST III (Bridged adapter, en1: AirPort) and it's working great. However, in Windows it appears as a wired interface. What I'm wondering is if there's a way to get the AirPort adapter visible in the guest OS as a wireless interface. Essentially, I'd like to be able to configure AirPort card in Windows with specific SSIDs for testing purposes just as I would if this was a physical laptop and not a VM. Currently, I just change the SSIDs via OS X and it just works. However, it would really help out if I could configure it directly in the Guest OS instead.
Thanks in advance and any help would be appreciated.
