This was exactly what I needed. Good job by whoever did this, the virtual wifi interface is an elegant solution to apps that refuse to run without one, in spite of there being actual internet connectivity. Thanks!!!

Would you please address some of the issues people having. It would be nice to answer now and then some questions. Here's mine: downloaded / installed the android vm in virtualbox. It startup. No internet. No clue to what's wrong. I noticed that the vm in virtualbox has NAT as virt. machine, and a wired connection. however, inside the vm there's only wireless and it does nothing. I have loads of virtual machines, none of them have internet accessiblity problems. One thing i tried (and actually this is beginning to becom a big wast of time, esp. compared to ) is to replace nat by bridged. no effect. I would recommend BlueStacks to anyone not interested in android as a developer, but just to run apps. Hello mr. author of the android virtualmachine.
