Hello this is my first post in Virtualbox community.
I installed backbox in my virtual machine my host os is windows 7 32bit and im connecting to internet using a wifi usb adapter(802.11n USb wireless LAN Card //Ralink Technology,corp) my problem is i can connect to internet in my host machine and in my guest machine but in my guest machine (which i have installed Backbox) doesnt detect the hardware and under the wireless connection tab it doesnt show anyting.if someone knows how to correct this issue please replay as soon as possible

The guest is a VM and simulates a wired network card regardless of what the host uses. The simplest way to get an internet connection in the guest is to select NAT networking mode. Alternatively you can select bridged networking and connect the guests simulated wired NIC to the hosts physical wireless NIC.

yeah i did as you said but its not working like that.i mean i tried Bridged network and NAT but when i log inside to backbox and under the network connection tab it shows that theres a wired connecction and not a wireless connection so when i try to check for my wireless devices using any other software(inside the guest OS) it doesnt get detected.im new to this so please be kind to help me out of this

Your guest OS will NOT see a wireless connection. That's just how Virtualbox works.
The only way is directly giving the USB device to the guest. See this section of the user manual as a starting point.
Be sure to read other manual sections and to look up common USB passing issues with Virtualbox before going into this.
