VBox guest not working if wireless is used at host

Hi,
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 as guest on VBox v.4.0.2 on Windows XP host. When on host is used wired network, then guest is can access network (like internet). But when I switch to wireless on host and reboot guest, guest can't access network (like internet). I know this was one of VBox limitations, but I am wondering does this limitation still exists?
Regards

is the guest bridged to the ethernet NIC?

Umm.. the host settings show the wireless network as "Not Connected"! Only the wired NIC and Host Only show as connected.

I know picture is displaying Wireless as Not connected, because I have taken print-screen when I was connected to internet using LAN. But when I disconnect LAN cable and connect to internet via Wireless and start VBox, I can't connect to internet from guest.
