For more information regarding VirtualBox and networking see this guide. You are not disconnecting or turning off your Host's Wireless device. Note that if you disconnect in the Guest OS, you are only disconnecting the Guest to Host virtualized connection. Note that Promiscuous mode is used more often for sniffing and can create a bit of network lag on both, the Guest and Host when using it. If you wish to see it as a Intel network device, a PcNet device or a Paravirtualized Network device. You can select how you wish to interpret the Host's wireless device. I should also mention that in the following extended options:

This does not allow to use VLAN trunking between VM and the external network with pre-2.6.27 Linux kernels nor with host operating systems other than Linux. Some adapters strip VLAN tags in hardware. For protocols such as IPv6 and IPX, you must choose a wired interface. Currently, VirtualBox supports only IPv4 over Mac's AirPort or Linux Wireless devices.

On Mac and Linux hosts, functionality is limited when using AirPort (the Mac's wireless networking) or any Wireless Linux device to bridged networking. You should connect and see it similar to this: Now simply accept and run your virtualized environment. In the image you can see wlan0 for this case: If your Host is a Mac, it will show AirPort. If your host iw Linux it will show something like wlan0, wlan, eth2. This will open an option that will show your Host network interfaces. For the example mentioned here I connected directly using the first adapter.Ĭlick on the Attached To option and select Bridged Adapter. In this case I selected Adapter 1 although it is recommended to select a second Adapter, this way, you can use the wireless connection to your Host and still be able to connect to your internal Virtualized network (Connect to other virtualbox guests internally). Go to the Network section and select an Adapter.

Right click on the Virtual Environment you wish to edit and select **Settings*: This is what is called a passthrough method: Note that if the vboxusers group is not found it is because VirtualBox is not yet installed on your system. In this case, you would change cyrex for yours. The quickest way is to go to the terminal and type: You have added your user to the vboxusers group. Look for the downloaded Extension pack and add it to VirtualBox. Now select Extensions and select the Add Pack button at the far right.

Instead, it connects directly to the Wireless device the Host uses. VirtualBox does not natively offer Wireless support (Like a virtualized Wireless device).
