Hello, Can I connect to a VirtualBox session to a other wifi connection than that it relates to the host on which it runs virtuabox?
Example: (1) Host which runs virtualbox: wlan0 -> "ssid1"
(2) virtualbox session which runs under host (1) -> "ssid2"
thanks

Yes. But you need a second USB network adapter and assign this directly to the guest.

I mean native hardware. You know what i mean? An USB WLAN stick on the host, not used on the host, but used in the guest?!

Can you connect to the two different ssid's on the host (at the same time)?
Same thing applies here. wifi is a one to one connection. If you want two valid network connections you need two separate connectors.
