Using wifi

How to use wifi in linux/windows in virtual box? I wanna see wifi connection inside my virtual box. If needed I can shut down wifi from my host computer.
The emulated NICs in a vm are wired Ethernet, not wireless. Even if the NIC in the host is wireless, it will look like a wired connection in the vm. The vm cannot see the NIC directly. It only sees its own emulated devices.
The only way to get a wireless connection directly from the vm is to use USB NICs and capture the USB device in the vm, then install the NIC driver in the OS in the vm.
