12.04 in Virtualbox is keep losing my wireless connection
- by Derek
I've Windows 7 as the Host OS, Ubuntu 12.04 as the guest and a Netgear WG111v2 as the USB Wireless device. Its connected to an open Wi-Fi network at work to bypass my works crazy strict filtering, When on the domain. I currently have network eth0 turned off in the virtualbox settings so the only network source would be through the USB device at wlan1.
Its odd but the wireless seems extremely temperamental, I constantly have to ifconfig wlan down then ifconfig wlan1 up to get it back online.
I know this might be super vague just curious if anyone has tried something like this or run into anything like it to point me in a direction I might not be seeing.
