Hello,

Ok... So, what wireless device do you have? Is it a PCI based, or USB based device? Depending on what it is, post the corresponding command output:

Code:

lsusb
lspci -v

Also post the output of the following:

Code:

ifconfig
iwconfig
lsmod

Cheers,

Josh

Ok, but could you please post the output of the commands that I asked? This will aid in further troubleshooting of your problem.

AFAIK you can not use your built in wireless adapter inside a virtual machine.

Without knowing your exact intentions I am closing this thread. You can send me a PM if you feel that this is unjustified.
