Although from a previous thread it appears that KVM as a type 2 
hypervisor (not "bare iron" but under a Linux host) somehow can 
bridge/NAT the 802.11 host Internet connection to a MS Win guest, it 
should also be possible to use a 802.11 USB adapter (without serving as 
an advertisement, but simply as a reference for a long list, see: 
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Description=802.11ac&Submit=ENE), 
detach it from the Linux host, and then attach it through VMware Player 
to the guest OS.  (Note that for some USB devices, VirtualBox posts a 
"fail to create proxy" error and will not in fact provide the affected 
USB device to the guest OS.  Thus far, VMware Player has been able to 
attach such devices to the guest although these were rejected by 
VirtualBox.)  For MS Win 7 Pro and presumably later MS Win guests, there 
should be a driver for the USB 802.11 device, and the 802.11 network 
should then allow the device to communicate -- one laptop, two 802.11 
NICs and connections (one host, one guest).  Is there any recommendation 
(including from the vendor supplier list above) for such a device?  
These seem quite inexpensive at US$15 or so.  The reason I am posting it 
to SL is that it would be nice to have a device that could be recognized 
by both SL and by MS Win in the event I ever wanted to use a second 
Linux 802.11 connection.
