Wireless from within a Virtual Machine (running on Win 10)

#1 Post by KenHorse »

Seems the normal conventions don't work as I can't seem to use the usual methods of configuring wpa_supplicant to get wireless working.

ifconfig reports no LAN connection (there isn't) but does report wireless with an IP of 10.0.2.15. I have no idea as my LAN (and wireless router) uses a 192.x.x.x subnet

So am I not able to get a wireless connection from within the VM?

My first thought is that this is a Windows problem. I've used several different Linux VM systems and they all piggyback an Internet connection on the host.

What virtualization software are you using?

Normally the host system provides the wireless driver and just presents the guest with one of a small number of standard nics.
command

Code: Select all

ip a
should show you what interfaces the host has provided.

What IP addresses you see depend on how you have configured networking in VBox for that guest
