Hi,
Long time I don’t make any progress with my blog. Today had to connect to the Wifi while having my Guest OS (Windows) connected to the USB Dongle / Wireless data card. No big deal in fact. The trick was to unmount the drivers on Mac OS X, hence make it available to the VirtualBox for mounting it.
If you don’t know how to do it… here are the steps.
1. On your Mac OS X type the following using the Terminal
# kextstat
This command shows you the loaded kernel drivers
2. Connect the USB Dongle (my case Huawei’s dongle). kextstat again will show you the new drivers loaded by Mac OS X.
3. Now all you need to do is to unload the drivers.
# sudo kextunload -b com.huawei.driver.HuaweiDataCardDriver
# sudo kextunload -b com.huawei.driver.HuaweiDataCardECMControl
[...]
4. Once you’re done with it. Go to your virtualbox, guest OS running, click on the USB icon at the bottom of the window. Select the Huawei’s device on the list.
5. Now you can use the dongle on your Windows Guest OS
Have fun.
