Host and Guest on separate wireless Networks

Hi

I am running a VirtualBox on a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.8.5 host OS.

On the virtual machine I am running Windows 7.

The windows machine will be used for my work environment where there is a network security login against AD and profiles loaded specifically with associated entitled software etc.

I need the Windows guest machine to connect to a different wireless network than the host machine.

I have installed a second USB wireless network device.

How can I configure VirtualBox so that it picks up the USB wireless network and not the inbuilt wireless adaptor specific to the Macbook?

MacOSX and Windows guest OS will work against differnet domains and have different security credentials.

Many thanks
Tony

I suspect that you mean the "USB wireless adapter". In that case, add a USB filter to your VM. Check the manual on more details...
