[ale] VirtualBox v6 vs KVM Performance

[Jim Kinney]

Others said it first but I'll chime in too.
The VM doesn't need to control the physical nic, wireless or wired. It typically uses a vnic which either directly bridges to the physical nic or is nat'ed behind the bridge. Use the nat with a wireless nic to avoid the need to embed wireless credentials in your vm.

I'm pretty sure one of my nat'ed vms can work even when I transition from wireless to wired on my laptop.
