If the USB WiFi adapter is working perfectly on the host machine then it can't be available to the VM.

USB devices are point to point, you can't share ownership.

If the host doesn't need this adapter then create a USB filter for it, and don't plug the device in until the guest has finished booting.

Any further discussion will require sight of a zipped VM log.
