VirtualBox uses different MAC for VMs, and those can be found in
    Network -> Adapter 1 -> Advanced -> MAC Address

Just above that, there is 
    Network -> Adapter 1 -> Name
where you can choose host's real port(ie. wlan0 or eth1) to attach to.

Actually, I got "QEMU Bridge" working, but never used it much.  You have
to give different MAC to each image running; otherwise, they all run
with the same default MAC.

VirtualBox is just three mouse click!
    Network (click 1) 
	-> Attached to -> Briged Adapter (click 2)
        -> Name -> wlan0 (click 3)
