VPC does not see wireless adapter

I recently bought a new laptop that has a built in wireless card. I setup my VPC images just like I had them on my old machine. When I fired them up I was suprised to see that I could not select my wireless card in the network settings. It was there in my old machine, so what happened.

I did some Google searches and found that there is a lot of misleading info on how to correct the issue. That is until I came acoss this site (http://www.mcse.ms/archive242-2005-7-1735770.html ) that actually had a resolution that was worth looking into. What do you know, it worked. So if you have a wireless card in the machine that is hosting the VPC and you cannot see your wireless card in the list of available adapters, try the following:

Go into the Network Connections and look at the properties of the wireless NIC. Does it have an entry for Virtual Machine Networking Services? If so, is there a check mark in the box. Now set the VPC to use the wireless adapter.

Hope this helps out
