Hi I'm running virtual win7 in ubuntu. I'd like to connect to router directly from win7; is there any way to "give" direct access of wlan card from ubuntu to win7.

to clear things up; bridge mode doesn't help, since host(ubuntu) need to be connected to router; while I want to connect to router from win7

edit: i found topic "Paravirtualized network adapter" in virtual box manual; but I can't seem to find it as option to select in virtualbox;

VirtualBox does not support pass-through interface for PCI devices. Even if it did, you could not use it in both host and guest at same time. I am not aware of virtualization product that supports that currently.

What could work is if you have USB Wireless card since USB pass-through interface is supported. That way you could connect to one router through your PCI card and to other through USB.
