Or, palabra, as they say in Spanish. I'll give that a shot; I also tried VBox in the staunchly anti-open-source Windows build supplied by the Evil Entity, and I noticed that I can use my wireless interface in Windows, as long as I disable the Odyssey wireless access client. For whatever reason, with the VirtualBox adapter enabled, Odyssey incorrectly thinks that the wired interface is connected, so it can't connect to wi-fi. So I just blast Odysseus, and I'm good to go (at home..). Of course, you HAVE to use Odyssey to connect to wireless in the office (although that's debatable, but I haven't figured out the WPA-Enterprise codes), so I'll stick with disabling the VBox adapter, so I can keep using Odyssey.
