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. To install it, open VirtualBox, go to the menu and select File -> Preferences. You can find the extension pack in the Download section of VirtualBox. Installed the Extension Pack for that particular VirtualBox Version.

Before we begin you need to make sure you have done the following points: In this guide I will point to the steps needed to have a working Wireless card for you Guest. Instead, it connects directly to the Wireless device the Host uses. VirtualBox does not natively offer Wireless support (Like a virtualized Wireless device).
