Emulate a wireless network without a wireless card

I want to setup a virtual wireless network that can only be see by my VM clients. I want this mock wireless switch/router to use the wired NIC on the VM Server to route traffic to the net.

Is it possible to emulate a wireless NIC on a virtual machine? Is it

possile to do so without the VMWare server having a wireless NIC?

Hi,

it´s not possible to emulate a virtual Wireless NIC in your VM.

It´s not possible to connect a Wireless NIC to your ESX and use it.

I could think of a way to connect a physical Wireless USB Stick to your VM.
