Bridging a Wireless connection

I'm sure this question has been asked somewhere or at some time but no searches turned up anything. Is there a way to bridge a wireless internet connection into a workstation VM? Or is there no way to get internet to a VM while not hardwired into a network?

Hey Kyle,

It should work. Do you have the bridged connection using the wireless card in the virtual network editor? Do you have the VMware Bridge Protocol bound to the wireless adapter?

Good Luck!

Thanks Brian, I had it set to automatic so I'm assuming it was automatically selecting the onboard nic. I'll go in and change it to the wireless adapter and give it a whirl.
