VirtualBox does not emulate a wireless connection, only a wired one. If you want to use a wireless connection, you'll have to use an external USB WiFi adapter, capture it from the guest and use it there. Search the forums for successes/failures for setups like this.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
