        Vbox will create a bridge with my wifi card (I’m a laptop user with no option for a wired nic in the host).

        I’ve never been able to get kvm to do that and haven’t found any working instructions online that a simpleton like me can follow

          if you leave the NAT virtual NIC and add a 2nd one, type MACVTAP, make device name your real NIC (ent01 for me).

          Now you can access guest on your host and on other LAN devices without needing a bridge

          (Spent yesterday figuring this out)

      vbox is easy until it starts saying vt-d isn’t enabled and refuses to start when it fact it is.
