Hi there,

I want to have a virtual wifi card inside my windows guest.

I want to install a software that transforms my windows machine into a hotspot, but I don't to install it in my host OS.

To install the software I need a wifi card inside the guest OS.

Is this possible? What are the steps? Can I install a new virtual network wifi card?

Thanks,

L. Pinho

Get a USB wifi stick and dump it to the VM using USB filters. Done.

See VirtualBox FAQ for that. No other hardware is detected in a VM.
