We need to see the guests log file ( as an attachment ) to make sure you know the difference of host and guest, but if you are trying to get the guest to see a wireless adapter it does not. It only sees a wired virtual adapter unless you use USB and dedicate it to the guest.

Shahzaib,

For Most applications using NAT will work fine. Some large UDP streams can cause a problem of stuttering and buffering.

It is not always possible to Alias a wireless nic, which is what Bridged requires.
So VirtualBox uses some special tricks to make this work, but the end result is that the Virtual Machine thinks it has a regular wired network card, and you will still have to configure the Wireless card in the host.

Really, you only want to define a wireless nic once, in the host, rather than once in each virtual machine anyway. So this works better.
