Hello Everyone
I have CentOS7 (basic installation) on Oracle VM Virtual Box.
I am struggling to configure CentOS to connect to my wireless router, I am hoping someone can give me some advice please.
To explain I am using Network Manager TUI. I have added the relevant details, but as I understand it the connection needs to be activated. I do not see the WiFi connection in the list and so I am guessing I have made a mistake somewhere. I have taken some screen shots so you can view what I have done so far.
Any help and advice will be appreciated
Connections:
This shows the Ethernet connection (which I will not be using) and the WiFi connection I am trying to configure:
This shows the the connection details:
There is no WiFi to Activate:

Re: Struggling To Configure WiFi on Basic Installation
I suspect you won't be using wifi at all. Your "hardware" in a virtualbox VM bears no relationship to the actual hardware that the host is installed on. You'll have a virtual ethernet card that will be bridged on the host to your wifi connection there. The guest won't even know it has a wireless connection, it will appear as a wired ethernet connection there. The only way this would not be true is if you have physically passed through the whole wireless adapter from host to guest and if so... why?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
