VM doesn't see my Qualcomm Atheros AR922X Wireless

[drohr]

I am using Chromixium (Cub Linux) which is Ubuntu 14.04 base. I am running the latest version of VM: Version 5.0.14 r105127. I am writing this FROM the system i am having trouble on so I KNOW i have Internet access.

When i try and create an image say with Windows 7 there isn't any selectable option for my Wireless connection. Shows my internal Intel 10/100 though but i am using wireless which is NOT visible in VM. So after creating the Win 7 image there is NO internet access from within it to even activate the win 7 OS.

How can i enable the option for my wireless adapter to be a selectable therefore have Internet access?

Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR922X Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)

This is an internal PCI card.

Please start by reading the manual.
The guests are running in a virtual machine on virtual hardware which has nothing to do with the devices on your physical host system.

Just to clarify something: these are user self help forums. You are not an Oracle customer and not entitled to help or support. You'll get help from other users if they feel like it.

A VM runs on simulated hardware. The hardware being simulated doesn't bear any relationship to the host hardware. How could it? In this case the VM provides a simulated Ethernet wired LAN connection. It matters not what the host uses for networking: the host is an entirely separate PC.
