I run two VMs on a MacBook Pro: Windows7 and Ubuntu 12.04. Both can connect to LANs via hardwired connections; Windows 7 connects also connects automatically to any authorized WiFi network. Ubuntu 12.04 cannot find a WiFi network. iwconfig reports "no wireless extensions." VirtualBox's Devices/Network Adapters' bridged option, however, recognizes the MacBook's Airport WiFi adapter. Despite hours of reading and searching and experimentation, I'm making no progress. Does anyone have any suggestions???

Is then network connection in bridged mode functional? Virtual Box establishes networking to the host with a virtual network adapter, independent of hardware. – Takkat Dec 26 '12 at 08:22

Yes, bridged mode works fine with a wired connection. – Bill Wilken Feb 05 '13 at 16:55
