VM doesn't connect using wireless-connected host machine #7

Hi Team, just wondering if this has been working with a wireless NIC. I am 
trying to work with my laptop connected to wireless LAN rather than the 
ethernet switch and I get no networking from the VM when it is running from the 
service.  

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Configure WiFi 802.11 type NIC to access your network
2. Remove physical ethernet cable
3. Reconfigure VM to use bridged Wireless adapter or NAT
4. Start VM using your service
5. Log on to VM and run IPCONFIG from a window

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output would be that the VM has received a valid IP address.  What I 
see is a 169.254.x.x address indicating no network connectivity.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version is 0.1
Host Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium(64 bit)
Guest OS is Windows 7 Professional (32 bit)

Please provide any additional information below.

I have also attempted to configure a second adapter for wireless also but in 
the VM this never shows up as a valid adapter.
This configuration works if I start the VM from the VirtualBox application.

Also I notice that when I restart the Virtual Box application after running the 
VM the networking has sometimes been reset to 'bridged' on the ethernet adapter 
and any configuration for the second adapter is disabled.

Surely I am not the only person to try this so I suspect I am doing something 
wrong in the configuration.  Any ideas?

Many Thanks
LP

For your info, and I am not sure if you collaborate, but this same problem also 
happens using the rival product VmServiceControl.  I will lodge the same 
question on their page.  Thanks again
