Confused about bridged adapter to en1: WiFi (AirPort)

[andyp73]

As the subject says, I am confused... which doesn't seem to take much these days... in particular as to whether I should be able to get a working bridged network adapter in a guest OS to the Wi-Fi adapter in my iMAC.

Host is an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017) running High Sierra 10.13.2 (17C88) running VirtualBox 5.2.4. Guest OS that I am trying to get running is Windows 10 which isn't getting an IP address from the DHCP server which runs on a physical IP Fire box.

VirtualBox running on my aged Windows 10 laptop can happily use its in-built Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1030 adapter as the bridged device for the guests and the iMac is connected to the same wireless access point.

From the thread in Using VirtualBox some people seem to have made it work with some versions of Mac hardware and VirtualBox.

Have I missed some strange incantation that is needed?

No. It is what it is. If it works, great. If it doesn't, you're out of luck...
Simple as that.

Looks like it is time to break out the long Ethernet cable then.
