Kindly help ASAP!

VirtualBox does not present a virtual wireless card to your virtual machine, only virtual wired cards. The virtual hardware presented on your virtual machine has absolutely nothing to do with the physical hardware.

The only exception is if you use a USB wireless adapter which you could capture in your guest.

In theory, if your host's wireless adapter is a USB device, you could disable it completely from the host and use it in your guest.
