Bridging through the network interface of the Host OS, is the most common case for the Guest OS to connect to the 'net (when you want the Guest OS to be visible w/o NAT) In VirtualBox, you can bridge a Guest OS with the Host OS WiFi interface where in the Host OS acts as the wpa supplicant and the auth. is done by the Host OS. The Guest OS still sees an ethernet iface card - the bridging is done at the Host OS level. Is this what you are trying to accomplish? -- Arun Khan "As a layman, I would say we have it, but as a scientist I have to say, 'What do we have?'"
