Wireless Adapter not found in Virtual PC

Alright, so I installed Win 7 on Virtual PC

 

However, the wireless card adapter does not show up on the VM!

I have no idea why. It also does not show at all in the VM under the device manager.

 

Has anyone ever had a similar issue? 

Any help will be much appreciated :)

Are you using windows virtual PC, or VMware, or other?

 

With most VM solutions, you need to set up the virtual switch and pass the connection through that to the guest OS, unless you are using VT-d to pass the hardware connection through to the guest OS.

I could, but it seems that VPC (at least 2007 version, the latest that works on my OS), it seems that virtual switches are not setup in the options (I would seriously suggest going to VMware if at all possible, it is a far superior product).
