hi,
yes, the wlan card seems fully connected.
in virtualbox 4 or 5, when you create a virtual machine,
in the network settings panel, select the bridge mode and
the physical nic you want to use, like in this screenshot:

(in italian, but clear I hope...)
it works even in open source edition of virtualbox and if the
host is connected to a wpa2 enterprise secured wifi network.
have a nice day,
francesco
