Select Bridged in the VM settings, point to the physical adapter you want to use and you're almost done. Now you just need to disable all the options except for the VIrtualBox Bridged filter in the adapter properties of the Host for the physical interface. That will cause the Host to keep the device active, but not use it for any network communications. The Guest can use it completely.
