      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)
