Hi Francesco,
I just installed VirtualBox-5.0-5.0.6_103037_el7-1.x86_64.rpm along with
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.0.6-103037.vbox-extpack
and the MS Win tools package of the above VirtualBox release to no avail.
What do you mean by "wifi adapter must be fully connected on your linux
host"?
On the SL7 host, ifconfig -a shows:
wlp61s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.[redacted] netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
192.168.[redacted]

RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 28494 bytes 3464767 (3.3 MiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
with the above redacted just in the event of any attempted compromises
from any inappropriate use of this public list
(not by any legitimate subscribers). However, all of the redacted data
is valid and wlp61s0 is fully functional.
Is this "fully connected"?
As for KVM, I have other reservations about this on a workstation (not
hardened server with external firewall defense) -- but that is a separate
subject.

hi yasha,
kvm windows 7/8/10 guests can be a bit slow in graphic applications,
but quite usable
if you need cpu/memory raw power.
you can use virtualbox, and bridge the virtual lan card of your guest
to a physical lan
or a wifi adapter. the wifi adapter must be fully connected on your
linux host.

Hi,
just q. (i surely missed it in earlier conv.) - why can't you use KVM
as a virtualization layer?
I use KVM on servers, workstations, laptops and i find it has all i
need.
I just missed thing like 'shared folder' between host/guest like eg.
vbox has, but this can be remedied by compiling/turning on the 9pFS
in kernel, if the 10Gbps of the NATed internal networking with virtio
driver is not enough.
