Hi Francesco,

I just installed VirtualBox-5.0-5.0.6_103037_el7-1.x86_64.rpm along with 
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.0.6-103037.vbox-extpack
and the MS Win tools package of the above VirtualBox release to no avail.

What do you mean by "wifi adapter must be fully connected on your linux 
host"?

On the SL7 host, ifconfig -a shows:

wlp61s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
         inet 192.168.[redacted]  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 
192.168.[redacted]
         inet6 [redacted]  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
         ether [redacted]  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
         RX packets 45054  bytes 47174187 (44.9 MiB)
         RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
         TX packets 28494  bytes 3464767 (3.3 MiB)
         TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

with the above redacted just in the event of any attempted compromises 
from any inappropriate use of this public list
(not by any legitimate subscribers).  However, all of the redacted data 
is valid and wlp61s0 is fully functional.

Is this "fully connected"?

As for KVM, I have other reservations about this on a workstation (not 
hardened server with external firewall defense) -- but that is a separate
subject.
