Hi!
I'm requesting help with enabling the wireless NIC tab on guest OS, the host is Win8, I'm trying to virtualize several OS for educational purposes, one of them is to teach how to connect to internet in different OS, since I can't install all of them (multiboot) I'm trying to virtualize them. The thing is, I've tried all the choices in the network tab in settings of VB, but none of them seems to work....I have virtualized openSUSE, Debia, and Fedora.

Re: Help With/How To: Enable Wireless Tab on Guest OS
The virtual machine are using virtual hardware and specifically for your network card it's always going to be a wired card, not a wireless one. Try the wired NIC with either NAT or Bridged mode selected in the VM settings. I would recommend NAT, because Bridged can be finicky with wireless.
