KVM and Xen only work on CPUs that have the para-virtualization extensions.
If yer using older hardware, you HAVE to use either bare metal or a standard
virtualizer like VMWare

Both KVM and Xen allow you to directly map a PCI slot into a client's
namespace. Right now I'm running pfSense as a VM under KVM and have
both a physical Ethernet port and a HiFN card mapped directly to it.
With VMWare, VirtualBox, and most other virtualization managers (as
Sean noted) it'll present as a generic Ethernet interface with no WiFi
extensions, you'll have to use the host to manage the actual wireless
association.
