Is anyone aware/at liberty to say how VirtualBox circumvents this
limitation? I presume it's via some sort of software switch trickery,
but they seem to be able to do a bridged(-like) mode via a Wi-Fi interface.
See the second "Note" at
<
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_bridged>.
Basically, they do MAC address translation.
