    @Ramhound that's not "how bridge mode works", but "how it gets bridge mode to works for a wifi station/client". Also, how could NAT give you a "unique MAC address", when we are talking the "WAN" side (of the POV of the VM).

  • And you can't, not with a wireless connection. (At the very least, not an encrypted one.) Get the host a wired connection (and use that for the bridge/VM).

  • It still has a different local IP than the host, I'd imagine. You could try macchanger.

  • @TomYan: It works the same regardless of encryption – either the AP accepts the 4-address frames or it doesn't, WPA doesn't affect that. Commented Jun 26 at 7:34
