Wi-Fi card settings

Post by Geekyzc »

I'm on Windows 7. I need to get a USB Wi-fi card that doesn't run on Linux(I looked it up) to work in virtual box by running through Windows(the host) and into the virtual(Linux). When I install the Linux it works for a few days then it doesn't. Just randomly. So what settings does it need?

P.S. I would like to now what LInux is best for programming. And Attached are some screenshots of settings.

I'm sorry. I'm know to not be understood :oops: . It does not work on LInux, because of the driver. It does run when Linux is on Virtualbox. In VB after a few days the card stops working.

Are you sure the wifi card stopped working? Because in your settings, I don't see any wifi adapter at all. Unless your 'Broadcom gigabit ethernet' you bridged with is wireless.
