Hi, I'm not able to set wireless network on my virtual W7 guest.
I have tested 2 possibility: the first with embedded wireless board and the second with USB wi-fi adapter.
If I use this Virtual Machine with VMware I am able to use wifi with the second option.
Can you help me?
Regards
wireless

Re: wireless
VirtualBox has no simulation of a wireless network adapter. The guest will always see a wired Ethernet card, regardless of what the host actually has. If you absolutely need wireless (and few people really do), then you need to enable USB support in the guest and mount a USB adapter, with guest OS drivers.
If all you need is internet access in the guest then leave the network card type at the default value and configure NAT networking.
