USB WiFi Adapter Problem

Post by Bourbon »

Hello,

I am trying to use a Belkin n150 USB wifi adaptor.
I am running Virtual Box 4.2.4 on Mac OSx 10.7 on a MBP 13" (late 2011).

I have two guest VMs one is Windows 7 and the other is Windows 8.

I have installed guest additions.

The problem I am having is that the guest OS do not seem to pick up on the device at all. Despite setting a filter for it and plugging it in AFTER the vm has loaded, I am unable to get the guest OS to even see it. Yet virtual box does in fact see it and let me set the filter. Is this an issue with this particular device? I am new to virtualbox so any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to avoid buying parallels/vmware fusion if at all possible.

Please attached your zip log file for the VM where you tried to plug and wasn't see on the guest.
